He hasn't accomplished anything, doesn't plan to do anything but repeal Obamacare. Someone needs to whisper in ear the people of Kentucky likes KYNECT, a direct result of Obamacare and uninsured rates are dropping in Kentucky.

That is why he and Boehner are such blubberers. They are sad because of their own evil.

When you are doing or saying the right thing, you don't feel like crying in the way they cry. They are embarrassed in their souls because of the hurt and pain they inflict on others with their attitudes and policies.

Their voices betray great remorse and shame. Especially McConnells'.

...my personal belief is all the blubbering is merely a delaying tactic while the mind is racing to come up with something real, positive, of help to the middle class and tangible. Kind of a tough call for McConnell

you indicated that the blubbering may all be part of McConnell feeling guilty for his record of inactivity.

I stated that I don't think McConnell has a conscience......implying (not very well) that he could not feel guilty. Instead McConnell employs delaying tactics (blubbering) while his mind is racing to try and come up with a tangible, good for the public policy he had a hand in promoting.

Not to inform anyone here. Just like many of the graphics posted here. Your reply sounded a bit rude to me. I'm sure you did not mean it that way.

Much of what I post here is in hopes that others will do the same - spread the word - use it as tools/knowledge weaponry to GOTV. That's also why I have so much stuff bookmarked!

... everyone has permission to make hard copies and hand out or just place around where people can see them. Like in magazine displays in grocery stores, launderettes. Leave in your seat in waiting rooms, like at the car service, Doctor offices, bathrooms, stapled to utility poles, in your bus seat or cab when you reach your destination. If people go there, you can leave one behind!

useful activism, and substitutes for it for some people. I'm not being hostile. I'm suggesting doing something that can actually affect the election.

That's what I thought. You don't know. You assumed. It's OK to suggest everyone do something else...it's not OK to tell Triana not to post things here for other Duers.

Not because I think people here don't know.

Other posts are to inform the DU community, of course.

I take a lot of graphics and stories from DU and post them elsewhere, as I see from the responses to your post, that others do. This is hardly the first graphic I've seen posted on DU. Graphics are posted here all the time; even graphics that address issues that many Democrats are well aware of. Earl G, for example posts great ones like this as well. It's never occurred to me to have them printed up and hand them out,as another Du-er suggested, but that's certainly a thought. I'm imagining handing them out at a Chick fil a or Hobby Lobby in this red city in this incredibly red state.

That is a homely man. Yeah, I'm calling out his looks because the ugly is on the inside.

If he were a kind, gentle, sweet natured, fellow it would make that old scowl charming.

He's mean and stingy. It shows on his face.
