'TIME TO DITCH MITCH MCCONNELL AND THE OUTDATED DEFINITION OF CONSERVATISM!'

By Jonathan E.P. Moore

TIME TO DITCH MITCH MCCONNELL AND THE OUTDATED DEFINITION OF CONSERVATISM!

I've been calling for both Boehner and McConnell to step down for years, but after listening to Mitch McConnell yesterday on FOX and Fiends proclaiming what being conservativism means, and what Trump needs to do to unite the party under the demands of what all American People already thought conservatism means, shows me it's time for bitching Mitch to take a hike! McConnell leads a group of over the hill crony Capitalists who have been caught trying to sneak in the back door in an attempt to regain the trust of the American Conservative voter base! Boehner got the hint, and if the GOP wants to unite the Republican Party under the guise of the conservative perception that they pretend to believe, then Trump's new vision for the party of 'America First' needs to prevail, and become the reality!

It is time for younger, wiser, and more courageous Republican leadership -- constitutional conservatives who understand the role of a statesman in perilous times -- who are willing to truly lead the nation and the Republican Party based on America's enlightened principles, advance the cause of liberty and republican government, and make the case every day to the American people.

McConnell had courted Sen. Marco Rubio to be a part of the Gang of Eight as a way to get Tea Party support for the amnesty bill that had passed the Senate that year. McConnell, meanwhile, waffled on his support of the bill and ended up voting against it. And yet, the fact that he had courted Rubio behind the scenes to become a face to that bill shows the shady deception that McConnell engages in to pretend that he's a conservative in an election year, and then proceeds to channel Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader.

Recently, McConnell blocked amendments that would have defunded Planned Parenthood and implemented Kate's Law in cracking down on sanctuary cities using the "filling the tree" process of crowding out amendments that he didn't like- the same tactic that former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid used against Republicans.

Every Republican who thought Trump was a joke to be running for President, and said he won’t win, are now trying to say he would be the worst thing to happen to the Republican Party. They had him sign a commitment letter, and now they are regretting their decision, and more than that, going against the will of the American Republican voter. McConnell told the New York Times that he will drop him like a hot rock and won’t let him be the candidate for the Republican Party because he, supposedly, won’t beat Hillary. First of all, Hillary beats Hillary, and if any American votes for her, and her Socialist/Obama agenda, then there is no hope for this country at all. I have a little more faith in the American people than McConnell apparently does

PANICKING MITCH MCCONNELL SAYS GOP WILL HELP HILLARY BEAT TRUMP IF HE WINS THE NOMINATION!!
In the most surreal moment in modern American politics, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told panicking Republicans that the GOP would actively destroy Donald Trump’s election chances if it came to that. That rush of warm air you feel on your face? It’s the wave of radiation from the Republican Party’s nuclear meltdown. We’re witnessing the death of a major political party.

Things are getting truly desperate in conservative camps and the grim acceptance that this isn’t a bad dream and that Trump is almost surely going to win the nomination has begun to set in. It’s led to an odd plan. In a stunning report by the New York Times, Republican sources confirm that party leadership is planning to destroy Trump and give Hillary Clinton the win rather than let him have control of the GOP.

New York Times reported that the Republican establishment “adamantly” opposed Trump and was preparing a 100-day-plan to deny him the nomination, should it come down to that.

“Where was the GOP’s 100-day plan to take out Obama? Anybody remember that plan? Where’s the GOP’s 100-day plan to take out Hillary Clinton? Anybody heard of that plan?”

To rally depressed Republicans, McConnell has hatched an unthinkable tactical retreat: Let Hillary Clinton win and focus on maintaining control over the Senate.

Did you catch that? Mitch McConnell floated the idea of tanking his party’s own candidate for president over sandwiches at lunch.

McConnell’s thinking is this: If Republicans accept that Trump will never win the general election, they can devote their energy towards running against Clinton at the senate level. If that sounds insane, then welcome to the Republican Party in 2016.

The saddest part in this scheme is that McConnell’s plan probably won’t even work – at least not in the way he hopes. For one thing, Trump has run his entire campaign on being anti-everything the current “establishment” Republican Party stands for. If his rabid supporters catch wind of the fact that loathed senators like Mitch McConnell are lining against him, that will only make him more popular. Trump’s been saying the party is against him all along. This only confirms it.

Making matters even more dire, McConnell’s tenure as Senate Leader has been defined by such egregious levels of obstructionism that Republican lawmakers are roughly as popular as athlete’s foot. In just the last few weeks, sources leaked McConnell’s plan to literally do nothing during this year’s legislative session. If that “do nothing” strategy is shameful, he only made it worse by following it up with the announcement that he would be blocking President Obama’s Supreme Court Justice nominee to score political points. Neither decision was popular with Democrats or Republicans.

As a result, polls suggest McConnell is leading Senate Republicans into an epic defeat on election day. Having destroyed Trump to save the jobs of Senate Republicans, he will be left with nothing to show for it. A fitting end to a Republican Party that rushed so fast to the bottom that they didn’t realize they had jumped off of a cliff.

It is time for Mitch McConnell to resign for the good of the nation and the Republican Party. The nation and GOP are both suffering as a result of the unwillingness or inability of McConnell to effectively defend either. Instead, these politicians are consumed with consolidating their own power on Capitol Hill and silencing opponents who dare to challenge their ironfisted rule. Sadly, they rarely act in the best interests of America's future. Indeed, time and again they have delivered victory after victory for Obama and his radical agenda -- from spending, borrowing, and Obamacare to illegal immigration, Iran and "trade" power. Never before has a Congress controlled by one party been so thoroughly impotent. This is due to the disastrous leadership of McConnell!

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and McConnell are aging, mealy mouthed politicians who stand for cronyism and keeping themselves entrenched in power. With America in decline and our enemies on the rise, it's now time for the new ‘America First’ true constitutional Republican Party who stand up for the American people and the rule of law to take their place. The country depends on it!!

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was operating behind the scenes to rush through the Senate what may be the most massive transfer of power from the Legislative to the Executive branch in our history. The senior Senator from Kentucky is scheming, along with Sen. Lindsey Graham, to bypass normal Senate procedure to fast-track legislation to grant the president the authority to wage unlimited war for as long as he or his successors may wish.

The legislation makes the unconstitutional Iraq War authorization of 2002 look like a walk in the park. It will allow this president and future presidents to wage war against ISIS without restrictions on time, geographic scope, or the use of ground troops. It is a completely open-ended authorization for the president to use the military as he wishes for as long as he (or she) wishes. Even President Obama has expressed concern over how willing Congress is to hand him unlimited power to wage war.

The purpose of the Legislative branch of our government is to restrict the Executive branch's power. The Founders understood that an all-powerful king who could wage war at will was the greatest threat to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That is why they created a people's branch, the Congress, to prevent the emergence of an all-powerful autocrat to drag the country to endless war. Sadly, Congress is surrendering its power to declare war.
Let's be clear: If Senate Majority Leader McConnell succeeds in passing this open-ended war authorization, the U.S. Constitution will be all but a dead letter.

MITCH MCCONNELL: I DIDN'T EARN MY MILLIONS, I INHERITED THEM! (OCTOBER, 2014)
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) doesn’t deny that he’s rich. But what stuck in his craw Monday night was his Democratic opponent’s insinuation that he had earned his wealth using his position as senator. An outraged McConnell clarified for debate viewers how he became a millionaire: He and his wife inherited the money.

The pointed exchange between McConnell and Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) came when moderator Bill Goodman, host of the program “Kentucky Tonight,” asked the two candidates whether they believe the current minimum wage ($7.25 an hour) is a living wage.

McConnell replied that the “minimum wage is largely an entry-level wage.” He argued that raising it to $10.10 an hour — as many Democrats would like — would lead to “destroying jobs for young people.” (In fact, according to the Economic Policy Institute, 88 percent of workers who would benefit from a higher minimum wage are older than 20.)

Grimes, however, said the country needed to “increase the minimum wage so that it is a living wage. $7.25 an hour does not allow a family of four to actually rise above poverty level.”

She then blasted McConnell for not caring about the interests of low-income residents of the state: “He’s gotten rich while consistently voting to keep Kentucky poor, and we can’t have a senator like that any longer.”

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS ARE BLOCKING THE MCCONNELL-OBAMA TRADE DEAL (DECEMBER, 2014)
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been dreaming about cutting major deals as Senate majority leader for most of his career. Next year, he’ll finally get the chance to do it with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the most ambitious free trade agreement since the Clinton era. The only thing standing in his way is his own political party.

President Barack Obama’s administration has been negotiating the TPP since the beginning of his presidency. Twelve nations are now involved in the talks, which have major implications for the U.S. economy, public health and foreign policy. But Obama has faced two domestic obstacles to enacting his pact: Democrats in Congress, who worry it will exacerbate income inequality, and a bloc of House Republicans, who are up in arms about the deal’s implications for executive power and national sovereignty.

The administration conducts the talks in secret, so the public only knows about terms of the deal through leaked documents. But opposition from conservative hardliners has intensified since GOP gains in the midterm elections, even as McConnell has pledged to cut a deal with Obama on TPP as one of his first orders of business next year.

MITCH MCCONNELL SAYS OBAMA 'HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB' PUSHING TRADE DEAL (MAY, 2015
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Sunday that Congress’ upper chamber would give President Barack Obama expedited authority to negotiate major trade deals “later this week,” despite strong opposition from members of the president’s party.

Nearly all Democrats are opposed, as is a strong contingent of Republicans, who are hesitant to hand Obama a victory.

And yet Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, was confident Sunday that the measure would pass the lower chamber.

“We will have the votes,” Ryan said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We’re doing very well. We’re gaining a lot of steam and momentum.”

Presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has so far remained quiet on TPP. While progressive groups want Clinton to come out against the trade deal, other Democrats want her to support it.

Boehner Got $5 million, Ryan $2 Million, MCCONNELL $9 MILLION– Any Doubt Why TPA Passed? (2015)
In the Senate the picture is even uglier, and much more blatant. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) acquired $9.2 million, John Cornyn (R-TX) $5.3 million and Orrin Hatch $4.2, the third member of the Senate trio of traitors forcing this upon us.

Marco Rubio pocketed $3.9 million for voting to tie us to a bill he never read, with his fellow presidential candidate Lindsey Graham earning $3.4 million. Candidate Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against the package both times it came up in the Senate. Ted Cruz (R-TX) first voted in favor of it but was eventually forced to recognize the will of the people in the interest of the survival of his campaign and cast a meaningless vote once the debate and outcome was determined.

The formula in the House seems fairly simple, at least as far as rewarding those in leadership positions. Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) got a cool $5 million and change, Mike McCarthy (R-CA) half that at $2.4 million, and Steve Scalisi (R-LA) half again at $1.2 million. For Paul Ryan, the price of American sovereignty was $2.2 million.

I have to wonder why the GOP thinks the American People aren’t paying attention, and especially after the meeting between Ryan and Trump came out with this list of Conservative guidelines that they themselves haven’t been practicing for years.

"Look, there are certain things we believe in as conservatives. We believe in limited government, we believe in the constitution," Ryan said." ..............REALLY??

Ryan said he explained the importance of conservative principles surrounding the U.S. constitution, separation of powers, limited government and pro-life policies to Trump and noted he was receptive.

I guess they now seem to realize that the American People are paying attention and truly believe that it’s time for the old guard and outdated conservatives values to step down and take the responsibility for Obama’s agenda of Socialism and unconstitutional overreach bypassing congress and implementing laws with his famous ‘Pen and Phone!’

LIST OF REPUBLICANS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED IN THEIR NEXT INDIVIDUAL ELECTIONS OR RECALLED, AND BY THE WAY ARE PLANNING TO SKIP CLEVELAND'S CONVENTION! TIME FOR THE GOP VOTER BASE TO LET THEM KNOW THAT IT IS NOT WHY WE ELECTED YOU, AND EXPECT YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ADOPTION OF THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM WHICH REPRESENTS THE 'WILL' OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND MAKE 'AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!

The following is a list of prominent Republicans who say they’re not planning to attend the Republican National Convention -- based on responses from their offices and previously published reports:

Former President George W. Bush

Former President George H.W. Bush

2008 Republican presidential nominee and Arizona Sen. John McCain

2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney

2016 presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval

Wyoming Gov. Matthew Mead

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham

Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake

New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski

Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk

Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson

Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran

Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt

Our elitist politicians believe that they know what’s best for America and the world instead of just making America great again and their number one priority! I’m not completely sure but have a pretty good idea of what our elected officials believe is the all-inclusive ‘Big Picture,’ or in other words, Globalism! I don’t quite understand why the bipartisan establishment politicians, and the ‘Paid to Report’ Media have gone out of their way to distract, deceive, and steer the talking points away from that ‘Socialist’ elephant in the room!

It’s time for the old conservative guard to step down and make room for the new ‘America First’ Republican Party! A vote for any candidate other than Trump will lead to the status quo hum drum do nothing continuation of what this country is ‘not’ about, instead of the new Trump energized base that is what the ‘Will’ of the American People need and deserve, especially after the last 7+ years of the bipartisan political establishment’s agenda of Socialism, open borders, and globalism in the attempt to take down Americas exceptional status in the world!

AN OPEN LETTER TO MITCH MCCONNELL, FROM A KENTUCKIAN!  ~By Carl Gibson

Dear Senator McConnell,

You are not a Kentuckian. In fact, your citizenship as a Kentuckian should be revoked, and you should be ineligible to run again for re-election.

Kentuckians live by the phrase "United We Stand, Divided We Fall." It's emblazoned on our flag along with two men, a frontiersman (Daniel Boone) and a statesman (Henry Clay) standing together. They may be standing on opposite sides of the seal, but their embrace symbolizes a spirit of cooperation and caring for your fellow man, even though you may sometimes disagree with him. Yet as Senate Minority Leader, you proudly announced that your chief goal as the top Republican member was not to create jobs or help schools or look out for the struggling middle class, but to deny President Obama a second term. We've seen a record amount of Republican filibusters, surpassing all others made in recent history, under your leadership. Since you've been the Republican leader, the US Senate has become what Jesus, when he cleansed the temple of the greedy moneychangers, referred to as a "den of thieves." And because of your divisive tactics, you are not a Kentuckian. But that's not the only reason.

You've also let down the very same Kentuckians you were elected to represent, by choosing to first represent the interests of those who write your campaign checks. In your 2002 re-election campaign, which precluded your YES vote on the Iraq War, your top campaign donor, Guardsmark, and your #10 campaign donor, Mantech International, were both military contractors – or as FDR called them, war profiteers. Just months after your YES vote to the invasion of Iraq, which claimed the lives of at least 4,500 American soldiers and has cost us upwards of $800 billion, you voted once again for an additional $86 billion in war spending. Two years later, when the behavior of military contractors like those who donated to your previous campaign were questioned in the public, you voted NO to a bill that would have investigated those companies, who were paid with taxpayer money and should have every reason to be transparent.

But in 2010, when those soldiers who were fortunate enough to make it home from Iraq alive needed your help the most, you voted NO to $3.4 billion in assistance for homeless veterans with children to look after. You even voted NO to spending just $1 billion in 2012 for a jobs program for veterans, many of whom live in your state. Your craven subservience to big money special interests has never been more clear than when you gave your #24 campaign contributor in your 2008 re-election bid, Amgen, a Christmas gift in the fiscal cliff bill that bilked Medicare out of $500 million. Because of your disdain for your constituents and naked pandering to your campaign donors, you don't deserve to be called a Kentuckian. You're a prostitute who puts out services after enough is put into your pocket. And last time I checked, prostitution is illegal in Kentucky.

Your attack campaign on Ashley Judd, the darling of Kentucky basketball, a native Tennessean but still more of a Kentuckian than you'll ever be, will backfire. Kentucky voters are fed up with paying you an exorbitant salary to sit on your thumbs while refusing to help anybody but yourself. The latest polls show it – at the end of 2012, most Kentucky voters said they can't stand you. 73 percent of Democrats disapprove of you and 58 percent of Independents say they don't like you either. Even 28 percent of Republicans openly disapprove of how you've wrecked the country.

Your time is limited, Senator McConnell. It's time for you to step aside, and let a Kentuckian do the job you haven't been doing for decades.
