McConnell: Specter's Switch A "Threat To The Country" (VIDEO)



Mitch McConnell, leader of a Republican minority that is now even smaller, suggested Tuesday that Sen. Arlen Specter's defection endangered not just the party, but the entire country.

"I think the threat to the country presented by this defection really relates to the issue of whether or not in the United States of America our people want the majority to have whatever it wants without restraint, without a check or a balance," McConnell said Tuesday.

"Obviously, we are not happy that Senator Specter has decided to become a Democrat," McConnell said. "If we are not successful in Minnesota ... Democrats, at least on paper, will have 60 votes. I think the danger of that for the country is that there won't automatically be an ability to restrain the excess that is typically associated with big majorities and single-party rule."

9. I think Mitch McConnell is a threat to the country

10. our founding fathers thought of that "check or a balance" thing

that is why we have 3 branches... duh

Nowhere in the constitution does it say that the congress shall not have too many people of one party.
