Open Letter to GOP and Conservative Senators - Don't be Sen. Reid's Punk

Don't you find it embarrassing to be Senator Reid's punk?

Senator Mitchell, you are even admitting that you want to be Senator Reid's "special friend."

From RedState:

According to Roll Call, in his speech McConnell intends to outline a “post partisan path” to leadership that “could also provide a rallying cry for old-line Republicans to reassert their authority within the party”
McConnell has been favorably quoting Bob Dole on the need to compromise with the Democrats.

Senator Reid is bragging that some of you are going to be his bitches.

“We’re going to continue to try to encourage the majority here in the Congress to incorporate a number of our ideas,” said Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R) of Kentucky at a briefing on Tuesday. (And if you do enact some of your ideas, this bill will be YOUR FAULT. No matter what the reality is.)

“I’m pleased with the way the Senate has been operating on the floor, pleased that we’re getting amendments offered, laid down, and voted on. And my assumption is that that’s the way we’re going to operate the rest of this Congress,” he added. (See my above about being someone's punk.)

In the end, the outcome in the Senate will likely turn on a few moderate Republican votes. Although moderate GOP ranks were diminished in 2008 elections, they still include Senator Grassley and Maine Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins.

“I’m not sure that we’ve yet achieved the right balance, the right mix between tax relief and spending programs,” said Senator Collins after a Senate GOP meeting with Obama on Tuesday. ( What mix of PORK and DEBT is the right one, Senator?)

“I’m also concerned that some of the provisions in the bill appear to be worthwhile programs but really have nothing to do with creating or preserving jobs or helping to turn the economy around,” she said. ( THEN HOW ARE THEY WORTHWHILE?)

But across the board, Republicans are praising the new president for contributing to a change in tone. (Of course he's changed his tone. You get more flies with sugar.....)

What Democrat spending programs, for which THEY will get the credit do you think will help America? Are you willing to betray your fellow Republicans in the House just so that you won't be called names?

Don't do it.
