McConnell’s “thuggish,” “heavy-handed” fundraising.

A new report by the Lexington Herald-Leader on Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “shows the nexus between his actions and his donors’ agendas,” which has benefited “cigarette makers, Las Vegas casinos, the pharmaceutical industry, credit card lenders, coal mine owners and others.”

    One look at Senator Mitchell Connel countenance on his face proves this story right to those who have intuition. l

    I’m not sure that there’s a single thing that Mitchie stands for that I can stomach. How a person can be so diametrically opposed to simple human decency astounds me.

    A corrupt Republican. I’m so surprised.

    Donors gave their money to a guy who agrees with them??? Do tell.


  6. Pee Wee from Crawford,Tx says:

    Mitch Mc Connell looks like the late’50’s early’60’s toy, Mr Potatohead. It had a stryofoam head where you can change the eyes, noses ears etc. He’s a real class act,with his slant-eyed gook, wife. Try to visulise those two making whoopi! Or him servicing Mehlmen!


  7. ForTruth says:

    Quintessential, corrupt Mo-fo.

    # 6—–You should be able to get your point across without the racial slurs.


  10. Jay Randal says:

    Mitch McConnell is the biggest corporate kissing whore in the Senate! Citizens of Kentucky are brain-dead to keep electing him or Diebold cheats to keep him in office!


  11. RealScientist says:

    #6 what’s with the racist remark?

    TP, please remove this comment

    Fire Sale! Government contracts for sale, contact your nearest GOP Congressman for the best deals money can buy. FIRE SALE! Raid the US treasury today, any delay could mean you miss out on some of the easiest money that the perverts can supply. FIRE SALE, buy your Republican US Congressman while he’s still there to be had!


  13. Solitaire says:

    I think Pee Wee is well-named, but his remarks are repusive. Another GOP operative trying to discredit TP? Probably, but whatever, his bigotry is no cloak of glory.


  14. bonesTwo says:

    And then he made a ton of money in a handshake deal with his organized crime connected buddy by getting the government to rezone some of his land. Man…that’s shady.

    Oh wait, sorry, that was Harry Reid that did that. My bad.


  15. Chris says:

    Obviously, in my last comment, I meant:

    Bitch McConnell
