RAW STORY ARTICLE: THIS WILL MAKE YOU ANGRY

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/10/7/1802436/-Women-protesting-Kavanaugh-were-clowns-

Snip of article. It made me angry it will do the same to you. I hate McConnell vile POS.


Nothing could exemplify the wholesale contempt the Republican Party has for women than the words of its own Senate Majority Leader, fresh off of successfully installing an accused attempted rapist and hard-right political operative onto the Supreme Court.

McConnell clearly holds disdain for the protesters — many of whom were women and survivors of sexual assault — who have desperately tried to derail Kavanaugh’s nomination over the last few weeks, but he considered them useful idiots too. “Harassing members at their homes, crowding the halls with people acting horribly, the effort to humiliate us really helped me unify my conference,” McConnell told the New York Times. “So I want to thank these clowns for all the help they provided.”

to dig for everything they can find on Kavanaugh and the Rethugs and then release the information. The Rethugs have to be shown for what they are, a clear and present danger to this country.

4. And they bothered poor Susan and took up so much of her time

Susan was forced to pretend she was actually listening with a sympathetic ear, weighing in on how she might vote, when all along they were irritating her, Jeff, and others to no end, cementing their "yes" votes. Indeed, Mitch is very thankful these days for those who might dare to petition their representatives and exercise their constitutional rights. His conference must have been mighty upset over this display of blatant citizenship!

Same way they tried to attach incumbent to Hillary.
Just the shear mention of the name Hillary, drove their base nuts.

We have all kinds of examples that we can use about Mitch, and
then tie their Senators to Mitch like he's an anchor, ball & chain,
... (any metaphor), voting with that a$$hole on every evil issue.

His actions are destructive, his words are offensive, and his look is unpleasant.
Use it!

No, McConnell isn't terrified of losing an election. He's terrified of what may go bump in the night.
