McConnell is 74 years old.

[C Moon]

He could retire and live the rest of his miserable life comfortably. He never has to worry about money, car repairs, home repairs, missing a mortgage payment, fixing a plumbing leak, paying for surgery...
What is it with freaks like him?
Are they that driven by hate?
Are they that driven by competition?
He must know that history will peg him as a heartless, fucking asshole.
I just don't get why these old-should-be-retired bastards are so focused on fucking over the less fortunate and giving it all to the mega rich.
You can't take it with your, McConnell.

1. Power is a drug

[dchill]

4. There it is.

Combined with a basic meanness.

[Dulcinea]

25. This. eom

32. Lord Acton's memorable quip:

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" arose as part of a quotation by the expansively named and impressively hirsute John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834–1902). The historian and moralist, who was otherwise known simply as Lord Acton, expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

[Frogg]

2. McConnell is a sad sack of heresy...makes me cringe

He is the absolute poster boy for the gutless, hatemongering, miserable old angry white bag of bones KGOP. I CANNOT FIND THE WORDS TO PROPERLY DESCRIBE MY DISGUST AND CONTEMPT FOR THIS VILE MONSTER. May he burn in the hell that surely awaits him.

[Bucky]

9. you made me think about Mitch McConnell's sack

damn you

[democratisphere]

3. Greed of money and power drive Mitch McConnell and his patronage job wife.

He doesn't give a sh't about his fellow Americans.

[yeoman6987]

11. Senator Warren voted against his wife's confirmation

This was payback. How immature.

[democratisphere]

18. The political well in this country is so poisoned we may never recover from this.

I never would have believed we would end up so low.

[Kingofalldems]

19. Is that the new meme from the GOP, yeoman6987?

[Cha]

5. GOP celebrates #BlackHistoryMonth by having old white southern man censor the words of Coretta Scott

Link to tweet

What a legacy for the history books.. they're flying high now but the higher they are the louder the thud.

[DrDan]

7. and they were able to do it by telling a woman to take her seat - kind of a double-victory for them

[Cha]

8. Yes, and if it makes everyone as mad

as it makes us.. it should have long ranging repercussions.

[raccoon]

6. Yeah, I saw the headline and immediately disliked McConnell even more than I did before. nt

[OnDoutside]

10. McConnell just wants to be relevant, that's what drives him (albeit slowly). Any other time

he would be an anonymous, irrelevant nobody. And he's a racist fucker.

[fescuerescue]

12. One thing is for sure.

Whoever replaces him will be worse. That's the way it is with Republicans.

Regan was terrible. Then Bush 1 came along. Even worse.

Then we had W. remember how horrible he was. The entire country knew we could not possibly ever get a worse President.

Then Trump came along.

Can you imagine how bad the next Republican will be? Same thing with McConnell. His replacement will be twice as bad. The guy after him even worse.

The entire world is just going straight to hell.

WIthin a generation. Republican Presidents will be indistinguishable from Satan himself.

(Conversely, Democratic President just keep getting better and better, but that's another post)

[bdamomma]

21. Your last comment

is so true.

Republicans if you can even call them that are horrible, they have so much venom in their veins. What goes around comes around.

We need a "deepthroat" character in this regime, but seriously do we have one already leaking what is coming out of the WH.

[VOX]

30. Yes! Remember last year's 16 (?) Republican candidates?

There wasn't ONE who was anything near presidential material. Not one. Holy rollers, grifters, marginal cases, failed CEOs, ideologues, etc.

Trump makes the *perfect* Satan, IMO. Look at all the imps he's surrounded himself with!

[Generic Brad]

31. We still have Pence and Cruz to live through

But after that - ....wait. That about finishes us off.

[BSdetect]

13. He's high on my list of repugnant punching bag faces

[dalton99a]

14. Sadists look for opportunities to hurt people and prolong it for their own pleasure.

Cruelty is a requirement for GOP membership.

[Donkees]

15. What's his emotional age?

[madokie]

16. Most of his worth

has been Ill Gotten

[JDC]

17. But his chins look 84

He is a horrible human being.

[bdamomma]

20. He's a despicable man

He received a donation from Betsy Devos for his campaign in the amt of $36,400.

Remember he was the man who obstructed President Obama and also wanted him to be a one term President, that didn't work well for McConnell.

Both McConnell and his wife are totally up to eyeballs in this crap. Interesting last night a reporter asked MConnell something about the President and he kind of got angry and said something like I don't think for the President go ask the President . Sorry I am paraphrasing.

But god forbid if anything serious happens they will jump ship so fast or will they???

[snooper2]

22. Turtles that old can't have sex anymore so this is how he gets off

[machoneman]

33. Bwahahhaha!

Yeah, Viagra no-workee on turtles!

[lostnfound]

23. We could really use some help here, God.

Just saying.

[Bengus81]

24. Charles Koch is 81 and worth over 40 BILLION.......

Yet he spends his remaining days trying to destroy public education and buying Congressmen/women.

[crazycatlady]

26. This is why we need a mandatory retirement age in Congress

Similar to what some state do for judges

[sarcasmo]

27. The term limit poster boy.

[Chiquitita]

28. He's afraid of his own death

He's avoiding the wisdom of his own impermanence.

[longship]

29. ...and was embalmed many years ago.

[Guilded Lilly]

34. He is s vengeful racist megalomaniac who thinks he is above the law.

[Historic NY]

35. Good thing life expectency is short for males..

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/08/us-life-expectancy-hits-record-high/16874039/
