John Boehner is Gone, Mitch McConnell Now In Their Crosshairs

Now that John Boehner is stepping down from being the Republican Speaker of the House, many conservative “hardliners” – or should I say, the Teapartiers – have set their sights on the Republican Leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell.

Boehner’s move seemed only to embolden the hardliners. Several on Capitol Hill and off suggested that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., would be their next target, and the group Tea Party Patriots began circulating a petition calling for his removal.

McConnell had pledged that the GOP Congress would show voters that Republicans can govern in the runup to the 2016 elections. But conservatives complain that the GOP takeover of the Senate this year has not yielded results, and now a House run by less-proven leaders may test McConnell’s promise once more.

“Mitch McConnell is infinitely worse as a leader than Boehner. He surrenders at the sight of battle every time,” said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., one of the rebels. “We made a lot of promises to the American people that if we took the Senate that we would do certain things and those things have not been accomplished.”

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
