Mitch McConnell goes off the deep end

[marmar]

WASHINGTON -- The White House has laid siege to capitalism, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declared Tuesday.

Asked if President Barack Obama's campaign attacks on Mitt Romney's time running the private equity firm Bain Capital were out of bounds, McConnell didn't answer directly, but instead accused Obama of undermining the American economic system.

"I do think that it's interesting to note that the whole notion of our success and of capitalism seems to be under attack by this administration across the board, not just in the campaign, but through the actions of the government itself," McConnell said at a Capitol Hill press conference.

"They seem to have forgotten what made this country great and what has lifted literally millions of Americans out of poverty for a long period of time has been a robust capitalist system," McConnell continued. "I think the view of this administration is that if you're making a profit you must be up to no good. You must be either mistreating your employees or cheating your customers or both." .........(more)

14. VULTURE Capitalism Profits by KILLING jobs

And Bain is an Leveraged Buyout vulture capitalist company. Has NOTHING to do with creating jobs. They only arose during the Reagan ad with all his deregulation. They should be illegal again.

McConnel looks like a vulture himself.

[Auntie Bush]

17. LOL- So far he's been called a turtle, a vulture and a stuffed Owl.
