With the help of Crossroads for America and the tea party the the Republicans have regained the House and it sounds like they aren't going to waste any time at all getting back to what they do best; working against the very people that put them into office. They have an amazing ability to get people to vote against their own interests.
I always found one of the premises of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter intriguing. The idea that Arthur Dimmesdale's physical appearance deteriorated as his guilt for his actions increased. Maybe Mitch is feeling guilty for something. Soon he will have no head. His body will just swallow it whole. He's already into it up to his neck.
How can a person in good conscience accept the health care package that Mr. McConnell and other members of Congress receive and deny a similar package to other Americans? I like Whoopi Goldberg's often repeated plea, "I want your health care, Mr. McConnell."
He seems to forget that he is the Senate minority leader. Which is understandable given the fact that Democrats have a hard time realizing they only lost one house of Congress. They will spend the next two years acting like they are in the minority even though they control the White House and the Senate.
One final thought. I can't resist one very old, very bad joke. I'm feeling bitter.
Orange your glad this isn't your congressman?
