“My Job Is To Protect The Country” Says RINO Mitch McConnell

Via Politico:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he voted to advance a clean debt-ceiling bill this week because his job is “to protect the country” when he can.
The Republican leader said at a Friday campaign event in Louisville, Ky., that he has long preferred making structural changes to fiscal policy as a condition to raising the debt ceiling.
But given that the House could pass only a clean debt ceiling — every policy rider Speaker John Boehner tried to attach failed to garner sufficient support — McConnell said he was left with one option: Avoid economic catastrophe. [...]
“We were confronted with a clean debt ceiling in the Senate or default. I believe I have to act in the best interests of the country, and every time we’ve been confronted with a potential crisis, the guy you’re looking at is the one who stepped up to solve the problem,” McConnell told reporters, according to Associated Press video.
“It was clear that we needed to produce enough procedural votes to get to a debt ceiling vote in order to avoid a default. My job is to protect the country when I can, and to step up and lead on those occasions when it’s required. That’s what I did,” said McConnell, who faces both primary and general election opponents in a tough path toward reelection.

Look, I got Barry's shit on my finger!

"And our job is to make sure you don't keep your job. You and the rest of you spineless RINO's. If protecting the country is your job, you have failed and ought to be fired. So raising the debt ceiling in order to avoid a default, in your warped mind, is your idea of saving the country? It
appears there is too much drinking going on  at Capital Hill. Your job Mitch is to represent your constituents who put you in the Senate, and raising the debt to give Obowel more money to waste is not protecting them or the country. I'm sorry, but if you believed that voting yes to raising the debt was the way to save the country, then you are a lying, asshole a libtard. You are mentally deficient, that much is clear, and your job is now to lose your election to a real conservative so we can be rid of your sorry ass. Mitch, do us a favor and please stop protecting us. If you really want to protect the country, retire." MC
