Mitch McConnell says Republicans may very well go along with Porkulus II. And why not? It’s not more taxpayer money–it’s the taxpayers’ kids’ money.

MITCH McCONNELL IS THROWING AWAY ANY MORAL HIGH GROUND ON SPENDING

Is Mitch McConnell (D-KY) a DNC plant?

Don Surber sounds the warning that the Republicans may cave on jobs bill.

This is depressing news. The Associated Press reported that Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell may join the White House in borrowing even more money we don’t have to throw at another stimulus we don’t need.

It failed to work in 2008 under the $150 billion Bush stimulus.

It failed to work in 2009 under the $787 billion “I Won” stimulus.

Why in heavens name does McConnell think $13 billion more will do the trick?

Surber quotes the following AP story:

The top Republican in the Senate said Sunday that GOP lawmakers “may well” vote for a jobs bill this week.

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., prefers a costlier version drafted with GOP input and he didn’t commit his support to advance the legislation on Monday to a final vote this coming week.

The pending measure would provide businesses that hire the unemployed a one-year break from payroll taxes and a $1,000 tax credit if those workers stay on the job for a full year. The cost is estimated at $13 billion.

Here’s a reminder for Mitch McConnell and other Republicans, notably newly-elected Scott Brown: the Tea Party protests weren’t about a lack of bipartisanship. They were about fiscal responsibility.

Or rather, a lack of fiscal responsibility by the United States Congress. It only takes a reacharound across the aisle to remind voters why they booted earmarking, pork-addicted Republicans just a few years ago.

The GOP’s remarkable comeback wasn’t fueled by McConnell’s go-along-to-get-along attitude on spending and ObamaCare.

Scott Brown was elected by the voters of Massachusetts specifically because he declared he was fiscally responsible. It hasn’t taken long for reports to surface in the last week that Mr. 41 might become Mr. Whatever.

Voters will soon enough get a chance to remind Mr. McConnell that they’ve had it up to here with borrowing money we don’t have to bail Democrat special interests out.

It doesn’t matter if the Republicans find their own special interests to bail out–voters will remember and count down the days to make their displeasure known.

This was exactly what Glenn Beck was talking about in his speech to CPAC Saturday about their being little difference between the party elites. Bill Bennett took umbrage at that notion. Bennett should have consulted McConnell before he wrote his piece.

McConnell has made Bennett look like a fool.

Why cede the moral high ground on spending now, Mr. McConnell?

He’s either ignorant of voter concerns or he’s a DNC plant.
