Political Circus: McConnell comes strapped to CPAC...sort of
Mitch McConnell came strapped to the Conservative Political Action Conference this week.
The Senate minority leader, 72, held his rifle mightily overhead before presenting it to his pal, Sen. Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, as part of the NRA Courage Under Fire lifetime achievement award.

The fighting Irish
Rep. Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, isn’t fazed by the family drama between tea party leaning and establishment members of the GOP. He says his Irish roots prepped him for Congress.
Bi-ignant.
Sure Republican Rep. Tim Scott of South Carolina said he wasn't exactly a stellar high school student and coined a new word for those like him who failed both Spanish and English: Bi-ignant.
No disr-spect
Speaking of new words, President Barack Obama had a little trouble both spelling and showing Aretha Franklin a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T while trying to honor the singer at the Women of Soul event at the White House. Good thing he stopped before he got to the part where Franklin rapidly sings “sock it to me.”
Trouble seeing the point?
Rep. Chris Van Hollen had just said that Republican Rep. Darrell Issa's dis of his Democratic colleague, Rep. Elijah Cummings, this week was "a sad day in the House." Maybe he was trying to bring Rep. Louise Slaughter to tears when he poked her in the eye before she took the podium.

HILARIOUS watching Guns Over People tea potty wingnuts walk the plank toward another November. They are delusional.
I would bet money he does not know how to load a black powder rifle.
What is wrong with these people?
Subliminal message anyone?
Why not just have an altar to th NRA on stage as well?
He looks like a yokel.

"He says his Irish roots prepped him for Congress."
He also quite literally said that poor people do not love and care for their children and raise them soulless. But CNN doesn't want you to know about that.
"those like him who failed both Spanish and English: Bi-ignant."
Nothing qualifies you for GOP/Teatroll hero-worship like celebrating ignorance.
McConnell and the GOP are just protesting all the attempts by Obama and the DNC to repeal the 2nd Amendment and ban guns - oh, oops, there have been zero attempts to repeal the 2nd Amendment or ban guns. I guess they're just tilting at windmills again. Hey McConnell, you may be interested and shocked to know that we Democrats have guns too! We also hunt, shoot for sport, and protect our families. We just don't need missile launchers to do those things.
Courage under fire Lifetime Achievement Award? The NRA actually gave this to someone who has spent his public career dodging responsibility for the lousy policies he supported? Oh, I forgot, repsonsibility is something entirely different for the Right: its whatever makes them feel good about themselves, even when 20 1st graders die.
Courage under fire Lifetime Achievement Award
from my cold dead hands !
Give me guns lots of guns lots of guns and let me ride
Give me guns give me guns lots a guns keep me strong
Give me guns lots a guns lots a guns and feel the freedom
If Jesus had an assault rifle he wouldn't have gone on the cross !
McConnell personifies Klansman every time i look at him.
I saw the video. Coryn was standing on stage with the barrel of a rifle pointed at an audience of thousands receiving an award from the NRA. Does the NRA still advocate basic gun safety?
Does he look stupid or what?
I don't know. The whole brandish the rifle thingy? Immature and petty.
Any GOP moron that even shows up at this GOP FREAK SHOW willNEVER be ELECTED president!!!!!!

People died in Benghazi, but as Hillary so elegantly lectured us, let's just get over it.

You must've heard that lecture in your dreams because she never said that.
Furthermore she never even implied that.
Sometimes, Fair, it is almost as if you just can't help yourself.

You know something? You've stooped to a pretty low low. Not only did you pick out fake Fair's comment, you conciously changed the lowecase 'f' in the second "fair" to an uppercase 'F' to make it look like it came from me. So here's the post you took the quote from:
-------------------------------------------------
Whoa!
My mistake. Did not notice the little "f".
No psychology. No hidden agenda.
Just an honest mistake.
And I think you should know that somebody, little "f" or big "F", had already responded to my mistake.
You should look into that....lol!

And according to all stats I have seen, much more likely to shoot someone by accident or cause a shooting accident.
Gun-Tottin' is not like the movies.
Whoa...we're getting some real crybabies here today. LMFAO
Regardless of one's politics or party affiliattion ... It's time to retire Mitch. 72. The senate term is for 6 years. This is what's wrong with Washington. Well connected with cronies and out of touch with modern times.

Indeed. Studies have shown that the 10 states with the highest incidence rate of gunshot incidents per capita are the 10 with the loosest gun regulations, starting with Louisiana. That means violence and accidents and all the negligence and recklessness in between. What that means is that you're more likely to suffer a gunshot wound in LA than you are in Chicago.
I would like to tell this soon-to-be out of work Senator what to do with that rifle. Where is his tri-corner hat? This CPAC conference is better than any comedy on television.
"I would bet money he does not know how to load a black powder rifle.
In fact, he's even holding it wrong and Grimes, his opponent (who is a woman, btw), pointed it out. She challenged him to the shooting range too and he's so far pussed out.
McConnell is going to need that rifle. For when he and Graham take on Putin's forces by themselves. Time to put their tough talk into action.
@ Sniffit both partys voted for the wars bud that you dims blame bush for bud ! Go get you a bump you'll fill better! dont stand up to fast o.

I think the gop/tea bags should just drop trow and settle this once and for all. My money's on Mitch and his cronies all coming up .... short.
Keep it up CPAC. You are the Democrats best friend.
@CryBabies: "Whoa...we're getting some real crybabies here today. LMFAO"
Yes, I agree, anytime you criticize a righties, the tears start flowing (accompanied by a huge helping of blame-the-librul-media).

"What is your emergency?"
"A drunk old lady broke into my house and stole one of my guns!"
