Mitch McConnell Is Why We Can't Have
Nice Things
MELTDOWN!
GOP BOSSES' PHONES UNPLUGGED
Mr.
Cruz Goes to Washington
Following
the epic, 21-hour speech by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, supporting the
defunding of Obamacare, either voters made so many calls to
establishment Republicans that their phone lines melted, or those GOP
leaders took their phones off the hook.
Even in this age of digital wizardry and limitless voicemail, callers
could not get through at all to Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky.
A message said the senator was experiencing a high volume of calls and
directed members of the public to call back later or visit his website.
It was the same story with the man who was the face
of the
GOP in the 2008 elections, former GOP presidential candidate Sen. John
McCain, R-Ariz.
His phone was off the hook, too. Callers got a message stating his
voicemail box was full.
The Arizona senator apparently had other matters on his mind during the
Cruz speech, tweeting, “Final episode of #Broadchurch tonight – one of
the most entertaining shows on TV right now.”
That prompted conservative commentator Michelle Malkin to tweet,
“Meanwhile, McCain is tweeting about a TV show. See the problem here,
America?”
Callers to Minority Whip Sen John Cornyn, R-Texas, also got a message
saying the line was busy, but at least those callers were sent to
voicemail.
McConnell announced Monday he does not support the attempt by Cruz to
defund Obamacare. [Full]

"The schism within the party has become irreconcilable. The great big lie over Obamacare has made this clear. It’s time for conservatives to act."

Rodg, thanks for that, confirming my suspicions. I tried calling that fence straddling RINO weasel McConnell four times last night and today. They weren’t taking calls because of “unusually heavy phone volume”*cough*cough*bullshit* - he and his entire staff were running around the Capitol trying to round up votes to stop the heavy Cruzer.
ReplyDeleteFunny though, I got through to my two Kommie sneators Kaine & Warner, then Cornyn, Flake and a half dozen others, even if it was only a voice mail, but McConnell? Nothing. Incommunicado.
Matt Bevin for the next Kentucky senator.

ReplyDeleteThe ultimate hypocrisy was the gop launched a "I stand with Ted" site while the gop leadership was trying to stab him in the back.
I am done with them.

They may not be listening but we were and their silence speaks volumes.
ReplyDeleteMcConnell, along with John McCain, Lindsay Graham, and nearly all the other "Republican" Senators, and nothing more than Democrats in Republican clothing.
