The Stench in D.C. emanates from McConnell's office.
...McConnell has refused to negotiate or fight vigorously to allow votes on
conservative priorities, but he is willing to surrender the one
impending victory against corporate welfare in order to bail out Obama
from troubles with his own party! Even more troubling, at a time when
McConnell has blocked conservatives from offering amendments, even those
that are germane to pending legislation, he is abdicating his authority
as Majority Leader to set the Senate to Cantwell next month by allowing
her to file cloture on a bill reauthorizing the Ex-Im Bank. And according to Sen. Lindsey Graham
(R-SC), this non-germane bill will be attached to the eventual highway
bill, which is regarded by the Washington political class as “must pass
legislation.” This will make it very difficult for conservatives to
block the bill. And to top it all off, McConnell is doing all this while
he claims to oppose the Export-Import Bank....
The taxpayer bailout of GM and Boeing--among others--will continue if this works as McConnell wants it to.
