It's bad enough to be in the minority. But what if the
minority won't fight?
Erick Erickson at RedState.com takes on Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell for a history of folding:
Allow me to be blunt:
There are some of you who have fallen under McConnell's spell
in the same way the lefties have fallen under Obama's spell.
McConnell can do no wrong.
You all wet your pants when McConnell publicly rebukes Reid and
engage in private actions that might cause you to go blind
behind closed doors in the bathroom to his floor statements
against defunding the war.
The idea that Mitch McConnell is protecting us from the
Democrats is bullcrap. We should collectively rip off his
jaw and shovel the crap back down his throat that he's been
serving us.
Erickson adds a dozen examples of McConnell surrenders. It
makes for depressing reading.
Michelle Malkin joins in the McConnell-bashing.
All this and we're only in the first week of the new era.
Conservatives should never forget that before
the Republican Party can become part of the solution it
has to stop being part of the problem.
