First, the Huffington post is mindless crap that should be in the grocery check out lane.
They made a DIRECT QUOTE, would you prefer I pull up the VIDEO so you can see and hear him say it instead? So much for your whiny attack on HuffPost. Other outlets covered the exact same story, by the way.
Mourdock's comment dovetails with the prevailing mindset of the GOP today, the GOP ever since Newt Gingrich and Denny Hastert, in fact.
Second, what in the hell do I care about what Richard Mourdock says?
Because for you, it should be like looking in a mirror.
He's a nobody. Third, I'm not sure what in the hell you are even talking about in regards to Mitch McConnel, unless it's when he said he wanted to make Obama a one term president. That doesn't have anything to do with bipartisanship. All parties want the other party's president to be a one term president. The left are doing their best at that with Trump now. What on Earth did you want McConnell to do, donate to Obama's re-election campaign?
A few posts back I ASKED, what would you expect Obama to do when LOCKED OUT by record filibusters and obstructionism.
You want to play dumb on McConnell, I see...
Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
Here’s
John Boehner, the likely speaker if Republicans take the House, offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”
Before the health care fight, before the economic
stimulus package, before President Obama even took office, Senator
Mitch McConnell, the Republican minority leader, had a strategy for his party: use his extensive knowledge of Senate procedure to slow things down, take advantage of the difficulties Democrats would have in governing and deny Democrats any Republican support on big legislation.
Republicans embraced it. Democrats denounced it as rank obstructionism. Either way, it has led the two parties, as much as any other factor, to where they are right now.
"They met on the night that he was sworn-in, and took a blood oath to each other that they would be obstacles to [Obama's] administration,"
Clyburn maintained. "They set out to do so in a way that demonstrates the ultimate in disloyalty to the country."
Assistant Democratic Leader Clyburn, added, "Every attempt by President Obama has made to 'light a candle' to help show the way for progress, for opportunity, for bringing us out of the darkness of the great recession that we just experienced, he had seen those candles, those flames blown out time and time again by these Republicans," Clyburn charged. "And then they have stood on the sidelines cursing the darkness."
So yes, Obama had a pen and a phone,
and that is pretty much ALL he HAD because there was NO BIPARTISANSHIP, and you damn well know it.
But go ahead and play dumb.
