From yesterday's Lincoln Journal Star:
McConnell: U.S. safer with GOP in control
BY DON WALTON / Lincoln Journal Star
The United States will be safer if Republicans maintain control of the Congress this November, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Wednesday during a stop in Nebraska.
"Terrorists are waiting for the Democrats here to take control, let things cool off and then strike again."
-- Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), quoted by the Salt Lake Tribune.
Let me remind you of some of the other utterances that Senator McConnell has made in the recent past:
• Senator Mitch McConnell called Rumsfeld “a spectacular secretary of defence, one of the best in American history,” also appearing on Fox News Sunday. (April 2006)
• Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the war in Iraq has been an "extremely successful undertaking." (April 2006)
• Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell of Kentucky called Bush "one of the great presidents in the history of the United States." (April 2006)
• McConnell recently appropriated $20 million for parties, parades and ceremonies for returning Iraq War veterans. (December 2005)
