"Never before have so few with so much promised to take away so much from so many and then laugh their asses off as the so many with so little vote for the so few with so much." A James Pence Quote

Senator Mitch McConnell has deep ties with the US Chamber Of Commerce dating back to 1991 when Steven Law was Senator Mitch McConnell's Chief of Staff. Steven Law later became the US Chamber of Commerce Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel in 2007 and remained there until 2009 and in 2010 he became American Crossroads President & Chief Executive Officer and President of Crossroads GPS. Are you getting the picture? I am, and it seems to me that Mitch McConnell, the US Chamber of Commerce, American Crossroads, Steven Law and Mitch McConnell are so close you couldn't drive a toothpick between them with a 18 pound sledgehammer.
The Chamber of Commerce, American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS helped senator Mitch McConnell in his 2008 Senate campaign by running TV ads against his opponent Bruce Lunsford and I expect they will do the same in 2014.
All three of these outfits, The Chamber of Commerce, American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS have Youtube channels.
If you take the time to visit the above Youtube channels, I suggest you will see the same, what I believe, coordinated messages. Yes it's against the law for a politician to participate in something like this and it's difficult to prove, but I believe that's exactly what The Chamber of Commerce, American Crossroads, Crossroads GPS and Senator Mitch McConnell are doing!
So how does a Senator like Mitch McConnell repay the The US Chamber of Commerce, American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS Cabal? Well by sponsoring S.RES.482 (Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the United States Chamber of Commerce) on the U.S. Senate floor. That seems like a good payback.
How is it that Senator Mitch McConnell can get away with playing kissy poo with the US Chamber of Commerce, American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS Cabal and then filibuster real and meaningful legislation? I don't know, but I do know this. We need to hold him accountable in 2014!

The US Chamber of Commerce, American Crossroads,Crossroads GPS Cabal and Senator Mitch McConnell are all on the same page when it comes to limiting Barack Obama to one term.
