At CPAC, Mitch McConnell Calls Conservatives ‘Simply More Fun Than Liberals’

[demmiblue]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has an interesting new recruiting strategy for conservatives. “Conservatives are more simply more fun than liberals, and there is a reason for that,” he told the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference this morning. “We’re always right.” Watch it:

Speaking in 2009 to CPAC, McConnell made the same argument, commenting, “Who wants to hang out with guys like Paul Krugman and Robert Reich when you can be with Rush Limbaugh?”

My plans for a rockin’ time out don’t generally include hanging out with my friends in conference rooms getting all self-congratulatory about our stances on policy, but to each his own. If McConnell wants to rebrand conservatism as America’s most entertaining ideological movement, he’s probably going to have to come up with a better reason people should believe him.

1. Next from McConnell: Mitt is really cool!

Stupid Republicans.

[sharp_stick]

2. Nothing says loads of laughs

more than the thought of hanging out with Mitch McConnell and John Boehner now does it?

[bluerum]

3. Arrogant pos. So far into the lamestream its not funny.

[Lint Head]

4. Leader Mitch McConnell, fun? It must be a lot of fun telling lies, laughing at people in comas and

at gay soldiers.

McConnell must enjoy it when he sleeps in his turtle shell.

[GoCubsGo]

12. Yep. They were born about 2200 years too late.

They would have been in seventh heaven watching the Roman gladiators kill each other, and seeing lions devour people.

[CTyankee]

31. And they didn't get to burn heretics at the stake! That's always SO much fun!!!

[Johonny]

5. Isn't the equivalent of Rush Limbaugh Stephanie Miller not Paul Krugman

and as to the question of who would the average male American want to hang out with an old balding blow hard guy, or a hot lesbian cougar? Hmm., I'm pretty sure even Rush wants to hang out with Stephanie Miller.

Rush is the kind of guy you have a beer with while dreaming of having a beer with women like Stephanie Miller.

[FarLeftFist]

6. Yeah, take the definition of "fun" from that guy. LOLOLOL!

[The Genealogist]

7. Yes, when I think of fun, I think of a group of people

who are so hopelessly out of touch with what most people go through on a daily basis, who want to force Americans to worship the Christian god, who are obsessed with controlling women's bodies.

Another thing, Turtlehead: people who think that they're “always right” are generally not very fun to be around. In fact, they tend to be pompous and arrogant. What is fun, Turtlehead, is watching someone who thinks they're "always right" make an ass of themselves. As you do, Mitch. On second thought Republicans are pretty fun, they do provide hours of stupidity to laugh at.

[Chiyo-chichi]

9. Yeah. Loads of fun to hang out with people who think they're always right.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. I wonder if he is aware that people call him Turtlehead?

[Angry Dragon]

8. Look at me, I am a turtle, watch me hide my head.

[NoGOPZone]

10. I just said the other day "I wish I could party like Mitch McConnell!"

[demosincebirth]

11. He looks like he can centainly be the life of a party

[marmar]

13. Yeah, when I think par-tay, the first person who pops into my head is Mitch McConnell....

[Quantess]

14. Like I'm going to listen to a turtle tell me what's fun and what isn't.

What do turtles do for fun, anyway? He can give me some tips on how to be really lame.

[Champion Jack]

16. I hear turtles like to play "where's the chin?"

[peace frog]

15. because they cruise and swing so successfully in tight slacks

[JBoy]

23. That made me LMAO.

[Cowboy8541]

17. Unintentionally funny is more like it! Sheesh

[Worried senior]

18. I guess their idea of fun

is making life more miserable for the rest of us and bashing the president every chance they get. They are a hoot.

[JoePhilly]

19. Screwing poor people is a blast!!

[haele]

20. Well, bullies and thugs have a lot more fun swaggering around and making other people hurt

And being able to do whatever the f*** you want with impunity to those who can't fight back is just the best, isn't it, Mitchie?
After all, when you're the king, it's just a great time.
Morally weak, cowardly thugs. So much fun to be around!

Haele

21. Fuck off you always wrong moran.

The cancer of our society just opened his mouth.

[begin_within]

22. Rush Limbaugh is "fun?"

I guess if taking Oxycontin and then picking your nose is your idea of fun, well, then, yes.

[malaise]

24. So how did they call get that trickly down theory wrong?

Perhaps they meant their crap would trickle down to the rest of us and we missed the meme.

[mmonk]

26. Fun as a funeral.

[Gemini Cat]

27. Sure they are. If one is in to drooling morons.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

28. What exactly would be fun about hanging out with Rush?

Doing Oxycontin?


Being raked over hot coals would be preferable to spending a microsecond with Rush, McConnell, et. al.

I actually can't think of a single conservative who I could imagine spending a fun time with. Otherwise, they wouldn't be conservatives.

[Initech]

29. Yeah conservatism is so fun! We might stay up until 11:00 tonight!

Yeah let's rock to Toby Keith, Billy Ray Cryus and Lee Greenwood! Crank the amps to 9.5! Then let's hear the great comedy musings of Larry The Cable Guy and Dennis Miller!

[WI_DEM]

30. When I see McConnell's face I immediately think 'this is a fun guy'

[CTyankee]

32. Cancha just see him naked, pasty white and comin' atcha!!

ok, ok, I owe you some brain bleach...

[peace frog]

33. more like a "fungi"

sorry, couldn't resist.

[HughBeaumont]

34. Oh, GET EXCITED FOR THE BONERAMA!! MITCH McCONNELL'S HERE!! YEAH!!

LOOOOUUUUUD NOISES!!!!

Conservatives are just like, SOOOOOO bitchin'!!! Let's go to a homeless shelter and kick some ass!!! Let's steal some pensions and divert them to the CEOs, FUCK YEAHHHHHH!!! Anyone ready for some Red baitin'??? Who's up for some Personal Responsibility and Austerity for America???
