McConnell helps give Obama an unlimited credit card.
11/1/15, Senate Conservatives Fund
This past Friday at one o'clock in the morning, 18 Senate
Republicans joined all of the Democrats in voting to bust the budget caps and
to completely suspend the national debt limit until March of 2017.
These Republicans, led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell (R-KY), surrendered to President Obama and gave him an unlimited
credit card for the remaining 15 months of his term.
(I added their Conservative Review Scorecard scores and
grades – Now you see where the problems are.)
1. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) 22% F
2. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) 40% F
Replace in 2016
3. John Barrasso (R-WY) 59% F
4. Shelley Moore-Capito (R-WV) 50% F
5. Thad Cochran (R-MS) 31% F
6. Susan Collins (R-ME) 14% F
7. John Cornyn (R-TX) 57% F
8. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) 45% F
9. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) 48%
10. Mark Kirk (R-IL) 28% F
11. John McCain (R-AZ) 41% F
Replace in 2016
12. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) 53% F
13. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) 18% F
14. Pat Roberts (R-KS) 53% F
15. Mike Rounds (R-SD) 17%
16. John Thune (R-SD) 50% F
Replace in 2016
17. Thom Tillis (R-NC) 33% F
18. Roger Wicker (R-MS) 28% F
This debt vote is significant because it is the 20th time in
the past 10 months that the new Republican majority allowed a bill to pass that
was supported by a majority of Democrats and opposed by a majority of
Republicans.
If you didn't know otherwise, you would think the Democrats
still controlled the Senate. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was right when he said
McConnell is "the most effective Democratic leader in modern times."
It's no surprise that a new Gallup poll
(http://www.gallup.com/poll/186395/republicans-views-mcconnell-tilt-negative.aspx)
found that more Republican voters now view McConnell unfavorably (35%) than
view him favorably (30%). Republicans are beginning to see that he doesn't
share their values.
Senator McConnell has broken so many promises and betrayed
the party's core principles so often that more Democrats now approve of the
Republican-controlled Congress (13%) than Republicans (9%).
All of this is causing many Senate Republicans to question
McConnell's leadership. Rather than looking out for their political interests,
he continues to pressure them to support unpopular liberal legislation.

Tell them that you're disappointed in their vote and will be
working to replace them with a true conservative.
It's very important that these senators see strong
opposition to their debt limit vote so they will be less inclined to betray us
next time. They also need to better understand the political liability
McConnell is for them.
Thank you for standing strong for freedom.
Sincerely, Ken Cuccinelli II, President, Senate

We need
primary challenges for these 18 RINOs. A few are running for reelection in
2016. All 44 Senate Democrats and 2
Independents score from 0% F to 17% F.
See: Conservative Review Scorecard.com
So you
see, the 18 RINOs actually give the Democrats the majority with 64 votes in the
Senate. The same problem exists in the
House.
