McConnell Filibusters Own Bill
Posted by Big Eddie | Saturday, December 08, 2012

In what was quite likely a first for the United States Senate, a Senator filibustered his own bill when Mitch McConnell proposed a bill in an attempt to embarrass the Democrats into showing they couldn't get enough votes to pass it. When Senator Harry Reid called his bluff and announced his intention to vote on the bill, Mitch McConnell was forced to filibuster his own bill to keep it from passing. Watch it.

How can anyone take Mitch McConnell seriously on anything when he pulls a political stunt when he is suppose to be acting responsibly?......................his actions basically sum up the Radical Republican Party for the last 4 plus years.....................

Did he debate himself like a Monty Python skit?

I think it is time to turn the old turtle on his back so he can do no more damage to the country.

McConnell felt that his seniority gave him the right to advise himself....his vigorous senility has reached an advanced stage ....old age. Time for McConnell to draw his social security...

Does anybody still doubt McConnell is a fool? All the Dems have to do is hold tight, and the only thing going over a cliff will be the GOP. Keep up the good work Mitch.
