"When you've got an administration that's willing to throw core constitutional protections out the window for the sake of an election -- whether its religious freedom or the freedom to speak without fear of intimidation -- we're in very dangerous territory."

No, Senator, we're actually in very dangerous territory every day you're in office.

As for Senator McConnell, his lifelong opposition to any and all campaign finance reform doesn't earn him any credit for good intentions. Either he is too dense to know the difference between a campaign contribution on one hand and bribery and extortion on the other, or he doesn't care.

And speaking of thugs, what does Senator McConnell call the Brown Shirts bussed in by the Koch Brothers in the summer of 2009 to disrupt congressional town hall meetings hosted by Democrats favorable to health reform? If that was just an example of common people speaking out, then I am a retired kamikaze pilot.

I wouldn't have had time to take sips between "spit lines". How does this douchebag manage to fit so many lies into 8 minutes?

"Band together"? You mean like "joining a union"? No- I guess you don't, you fucking turd.
