Everyone hears how Republicans are always bemoaning the fates of "small businesses". Those of us who have long ago seen through their facade know that is just a talking point, and their true goal is to protect the profits of Corporations who outsource middle-class jobs, not small businesses who create them. The fact of the matter is if your bank account is less than seven figures Republicans could care less about you no matter what you do. Now, the proof positive is out to small businesses. When it comes to regaining power to protect Corporate America Republicans do not give a damn about you.
As if the real Mitch McConnell coddling the Communist Chinese while holding his throat to the American worker was not scary enough, AFSCME decided to surprise some folks in Louisville, Kentucky. Wanting to remind Kentuckians about the obstructionist policies of Mitch McConnell, policies that would cost them jobs and funding the union projected a silent video of McConnell for passers by to consider. Yes, not merely content with just delaying the compensation for the 2.5 million workers the policies of George W. Bush rubber-stamped by him created, now McConnell seeks to block aid to state governments that could save or create close to a million jobs for state employees such as policemen, firemen and teachers.
With the looming fight for control of Congress, Republicans despite an ailing economy and an ailing country have just decided to say no to everything Democrats have proposed to do to try and help America recover from the mess Republican control of our whole country during the George W. Bush years and before caused. From denying unemployment benefits to those who lost their jobs due to the Republican crashing of the economy, to allowing Corporate money to continue dominating elections, to opposing any attempt to reign in Wall St., who used Republican deregulation to crash the economy the Republicans consistently say no to anything that could help the country by claiming it would add to the national debt.
With all the bluster we here from Republicans about "small business", as it turns out these are all just talking points to mask their true agenda. You see, just like with our troops when it comes to honoring small business with action instead of words, Republicans are missing in action. Case in point, the Senate bill to help small businesses recover and create jobs. While Democrats are truly trying to help small businesses rebound, all we get from Republicans is the same old garbage spewed like gospel.

Justice Watch Gary was a contract engineer at the Paducah Kentucky Gaseous Diffusion Plant for many years. He and his boss were “conveniently” fired after he began to report serious environmental crimes of improper/illegal dumping of radiological (enriched uranium), hazardous waste in Western Kentucky. These crimes have been going on for years and continue to be “covered up” by numerous government officials with the Department of Energy (DOE), KY Senator Mitch McConnell and Representative Ed Whitfield – just to name a few.
We all hear the bluster from the modern Republican Party of No who say no to anything good for this country. Always used is the argument that it will "hurt small businesses". However the modern Republican Party cares nothing about what happens to small businesses, all they care about are the big Corporations and the very rich. More proof of this is demonstrated yet again in their opposition to a Democratic plan to aid real small businesses.
Over the past two years I've talked to many Rand Paul supporters and found we had one thing in common and that is the dislike of what Senator Mitch McConnell represents. Now Rand Paul is in the business of doing business with Senator Mitch McConnell to the point where it will cost $2,500 just to get in the door to see Rand Paul. Now that ain't grassroots money.
It seems that Rand Paul has bought into McConnellganda , has been thoroughly McConnellized and has switched from being anti Communism to pro McConnelism and Chaoism. In other words Senator Mitch McConnell owns Rand Paul and the Kentucky Tea Party folks and they seem to be ready to dance to his, McConnell's, tune. Get out the fiddle!
In the 29 second video below, we shot May 22, 2010, at the Kentucky GOP Unity Rally Frankfort, Kentucky, Senator Mitch McConnell refers to 2008 as 1968 about 18 seconds into the video. Reckon he was thinking of the 1968 Republican Party"s Southern Strategy, or could it be that he is a sick man like we suspected May 04, 2010?
In Kentucky we have some great candidates bidding to pull upsets in the Congressional races. In the Fourth we have John Waltz and in the Fifth we have Jim Holbert. In the Second Congressional District we have Ed Marksberry, no stranger to us here at Hillbilly Report, and definately a fine candidate in his own right. He is ready to go to Washington and fight to once again expand the American middle-class. Today in a press release, he Unloaded on Kentucky Republicans for their "cozy industry relationships".
This has been a problem for a long time now. China manipulating their currency to cost Americans manufacturing jobs and cause a huge trade deficit for our country. It also drives down wages as greedy corporations take advantage of the virtual slave labor pool that exists among the oppressed people in Communist China. Of course, with so many "leaders" in our Congress like the Senator for Communist China Mitch McConnell it is no surprise nothing has been done. Now, July 13 is National call in day to tell Congress to end Chinese currency manipulation.
After the economy crashed because of failed Republican policies of deregulation a funny thing happened. All the bankers who lost money were bailed out and Mitch McConnell made sure of it. Now, as those very bankers refuse to free up lending again and millions of Americans whose jobs were eliminated by the uncaring Corporate policies McConnell shepherded through as a "leader" of the Republican Party during the Bush Administration Mitch McConnell has a simple message for those whose jobs he outsourced or allowed to be eliminated, "Screw You".
How Does 27,000 Abandoned Oil Wells In The Gulf Of Mexico Sound To You? Call it what you want, "The Redneck Riviera" or the Gulf Of Mexico, but this is a place exploited by Corporate America and the beginning of the end of a beautiful pristine part of the world, unless of course, we find a way to clean up all of the pollution Corporate America has dumped on it. It would be easy to say "you, the folks living on or near the Gulf Of Mexico made your bed now lie in it", but that would be insincere because the corporate ass kissers like Senator Mitch McConnell and Senator Jim Bunning, here in Kentucky, have voted consistently to dump corporate shit on you.
We have just celebrated the fourth of July signifying the independence of the United States from Britain. We are NOT independent, however. Elaine Chao , wife of United States Senator Red China Mitch McConnell vowed to cement ties with Red Communist China and the United States. In November of 2008 there were enough stupid people in Kentucky to allow this to happen.
As expected the Republicans in the Senate said no to those whose livelihoods they gutted when they controlled Washington. Forget the fact that men like Mitch McConnell and yes, Ben Nelson who is a Republican and should get out of our party soaked up huge salaries while soaking the middle-class with policies that decimated them while enriching Corporate fatcats and the Chinese Communists. Of course the whole Republican Party, Mitch McConnell and Ben Nelson want you to forget. What they do not want is to bear any of the responsibility of their actions both in the past and now as working Americans who paid the price from Republicans and Corporate Democrats and the robber-barons in Corporate America getting fat, crashing the economy, and getting bailed out.
For a long time now we have had a problem in Kentucky. While our state has a wide majority of Democrats, we have several Congressional seats that remain Republican, have two Republican Senators, and vote on a national level in Presidential elections Republican. Now it appears as if we will have a leader of our state party who donated too the two worst Republicans of all, disgraced former Governor Ernie Fletcher and the Darth Vader of Kentucky politics, Mitch McConnell. To me, this shows the weakness of our party as a whole. Their are too many apologists for the Corporate Republican ideology within our state and national party and the best thing they can do is leave our party, not lead it.
A lot of the Republican politicians and talking heads say it is time that we quit "blaming Bush" for the problems besetting this country. They constantly maintain how Democrats have driven the deficit to new highs. However, as always with these hypocritical Republicans the truth is far from their own twisted sense of reality. You see, far away from tea-bag wonderland here in the real world many of the problems we face were caused by the very people that rail so hard against them.
So what's new? Hal Rogers, Ed Whitfield and Brett Guthrie showed their true colors and when they had a chance to stand up for seniors on Medicare they voted "Nay" to kill H R 4213 and allow a 21% cut in Medicare payments to physicians essentially killing Medicare as we know it. Geoff Davis was a no show and didn't even bother to vote.
