HuffPo reports:
McConnell (R-Ky.) smacked down a segment of conservatives, calling for establishment Republicans to stand their ground.In a wide-ranging interview with The Washington Examiner published Friday,McConnell discussed how a cadre of Republicans watched October's government shutdown happen, despite a desire to prevent such an event from going forward.“There were people who were basically afraid of [conservatives], frankly,” McConnell said. “It’s time for people to stand up to this sort of thing.”[...]McConnell told the Examiner that groups of that nature are "giving conservatism a bad name."
"October's government shutdown"??
ReplyDeleteWhat an odd statement. I thought that the HuffPo was an unbaised voice for facts and truth.
One has to have a good name to begin with in order to give it a bad name.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, aggressive foreign policy and wars, crony capitalism, big government etc has not given McConnell's brand of "conservatism" a bad name.
ReplyDeleteWe all know that the party of "limited government" and "fiscal responsibility" is supposed to get hysterical by the mere prospect of the shutdown of Leviathan.
