McConnel

Although Senators are elected by the individual state that they theoretically represent, there decisions and bad behavior impact us all nationally. In no case is that more true than McConnel. The master of obstructionism, he has often almost single handedly held up critical legislation that did not meet his neo-conservative agenda or benefit his benefactors sufficiently. Kentucky certainly is a hard state to crack for a Democrat, but as a one time resident, I can attest to the fact that the people there are not idiots. Anyone in a position to make donations of time and/or money to McConnel's defeat would be doing a tremendous service to the entire population of the USA, not just Kentucky. This is the best chance we have had in years to dump the chumps. This would be a most excellent place to start!

Corruption normal for GOP

McConnel, one of the most corrupt and one the most important GOP Senators, has finally been "found out" by the news media. He has been hiding behind our flag for years. Voters in his state, however, just love their corrupt politicians...he will be voted in again next term.

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his wife, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao seem to be collaborating on blocking laws that would make work a little safer for coal miners. Depressing, but hardly surprising: McConnell is far and away the favorite Senator of the coal mining industry. They've given him over $100,000 in campaign contributions in the last year alone, nearly $20,000 more than any other Senator according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
