Republicans are more likely to view Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) unfavorably than favorably, a Gallup survey released Thursday finds. For the first time in the five years the survey has been taken, more Republicans (35 percent) view the Kentuckian negatively than positively (30 percent). A year and a half ago, Republicans were twice as likely to view him favorably than unfavorably.
McConnell has become a favorite punching bag for many conservatives who are frustrated in particular with his refusal to further dismantle the filibuster.
The poll was taken among 1,015 adults nationwide via phone interviews between Oct. 7-11, which Gallup notes was before the bipartisan budget deal between the White House and congressional leaders was announced. The margin of error is 4 percentage points.
uhmmm, well some of them do live underwater…
Sen. McConnell’s response:
Hahaha, you stupid bitches! You’ve had every opportunity to get rid of me, but every time you’ve fallen for some dumbass ad campaign in which I lie through my teeth, tell you up is down and water is dry, and every time you eat it up like the stupid sows you are. So, you’re stuck with me! You fell for the “Barack Obama is ni-uh-near” okey-doke, you followed the dog whistle like I’m the Pied freakin Piper. Hell, you clowns were willing to snatch away healthcare from 500,000 KYians just to teach Barack Obama a lesson. Well, guess what? He doesn’t give a good damn about you and neither do I. HAHAHAHA
This implies that if the GOP ever were able to elect a president, he or she would immediately become unpopular, as being part of the Washington problem. Strange politics–work hard, get elected, lose backing, and fail.
If not, they will soon, as McConnell and his party aren’t interested in even acknowledging global warming.
By all means, dismantle the filibuster … might come in handy after 2016.
