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 Kavanaughs 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.

(8,971 posts)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!

(8,929 posts)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.
