Here is the twenty-third article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s honoree is Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), aka Bought Bitch Mitch. He is being honored for a pile of BS deep enough to drown every race horse in Kentucky.
Mitch McConnell’s re-election campaign is touting his support for the Violence Against Women Act — even though the Republican Senate minority leader has a consistent record of voting against the anti-domestic violence legislation.
A press packet that McConnell’s spokeswoman distributed to reporters at a Friday event titled “Women For Team Mitch” features testimonials from Kentucky women. One of them caught the eye of Joe Sonka, a reporter for the Louisville-based LEO Weekly, who posted it on Twitter.
The quote, attributed to a woman named Angela Leet in Jefferson County, read, “Mitch was the co-sponsor of the original Violence Against Women Act- and continues to advocate for stronger policies to protect women. I am proud to call him my senator.”
The claim belies the Republican leader’s actual record… [emphasis added]

Chris Hayes exposed him like Larry Craig!

Bought Bitch Mitch, is the top Republican in the US Senate. What better example could there be to illustrate the Republican Party’s nonexistent relationship with both women and integrity.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
WOW! I'm speechless.
Off the wall, isn't it?
What a huge pile of fertiliser! Thanks TC.
Bought Bitch Mitch dung might pollute your veggies!
In my opinion, be it ever so humble, McTurtle does not show commitment to the kind of America and the kind of Kentucky that voters need and want. In fact, he shows no tangible indication that he even knows what the voters want. He is too wrapped up in Republicanus/Teabagger rhetoric and deceipt!
McTurtle, you can RUN for office again, but you cannot HIDE from your record! Tell us again how you have supported women with your vote! If anyone is trying to divide people, it is McTurtle with his lies!
In 2014 and beyond, the only good Republicanus/Teabagger is an unemployed Republicanus/Teabagger!
He is also using the "War on Coal: That stirs up Ky voters faster than anything.
The math is simple: What he says – what he does = ∞
No to go all Godwin, but Rethuglicans have long embraced Hitler's recommendation that it's ALWAYS best to go with "The Big Lie".

Sadly, Hitler was right.
Sadly, Edie is right.
Mitch is never afraid to lie. He has three opponents this time, unheard of before, so I have some hope that the embarassment of having him as my senator will go away.
Then you can take up the embarassment of having Idiot, Son of Idiot, Named after Idiot as your Senator.
Argh!! Grimes is going to win, not idiot Rand
Rand isn't up next year, damn it! 2015 I think.
Sadly, I do not have the way with words, the eloquence of all those who have sent in replies regarding Dumbshit McConnell. So Mitch, you asshole, this message is kept deliberately simple so that even one of your limited mentality can understand: FUCK YOU!
I've always been very fond of pithy …
Welcome James! 🙂
That works too!
Earthy, direct . . . that's good! Even dumb ass McTurtle should understand that!
Team Bitch (Mitch) for Women…. Yeah Right
Hypocrite and I agree with James Thompson, Fuck You…. 🙂
If you do, PLEASE don't knock him up! 😉
LMAO TC!
