Mitch McConnell: Year in Review

January: McConnell Called Himself Bush's "Strongest Supporter" On Iraq.
In an interview discussing Iraq and the President's proposed troop escalation, McConnell described himself as "the strongest supporter of the president you could find in the Senate on this effort."

February: McConnell Blocked Senate Escalation Debate, Arguing Many GOPers Don't Want a Debate.
Leading the fight to block a Senate debate on Iraq in February, McConnell said, "let me just say there are many members on my side who would argue that we shouldn't be having this debate this week at all." Headlines across the country accused the McConnell-led Senate Republicans of blocking the essential debate.

March: McConnell Holds Muti-Million Dollar Fundraiser With Bush, While Fighting his Battles in the Senate. 
On March 1, the Washington Times ran a headline that said, "McConnell fighting Bush's battles in Senate."  The next day, President Bush traveled to Kentucky for a fundraiser with McConnell that raised $2.1 million for McConnell and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

April: McConnell Voted Against War Funding Bill That Would have Set a New Course in Iraq.
In April, McConnell voted against a $124 billion Fiscal Year 2007 Supplemental spending bill, which would have begun bringing U.S. troops home from Iraq by October 1, with a goal of having most troops home by March 31, 2008. In addition to the withdrawal, the bill provided billions of dollars for military equipment and health care for active duty military and returning veterans.

May: McConnell Endorsed Scandal-Plagued Gov. Ernie Fletcher, Saying He Had "Never Met a Finer Man."   
In May, McConnell endorsed Republican Ernie Fletcher for Governor of Kentucky, saying, "I have never met a finer man than our governor, Ernie Fletcher." In 2006, Fletcher was indicted on three misdemeanor charges for allegedly doling out state jobs to political supporters. The indictments came after Fletcher pleaded the Fifth Amendment and declined to answer questions before a grand jury. In August 2006, Fletcher admitted to wrongdoing in his administration as part of an agreement to drop the charges, but a grand jury report released later said that Fletcher oversaw a "widespread and coordinated plan" to avoid state hiring laws.  Fletcher also pardoned every member of his administration that was involved with the scandal.  

June: McConnell Held Up Essential Ethics Reform and 9/11 Commission Recommendations.
On a single day in June, McConnell blocked congressional Democrats' attempts to move forward with a sweeping lobbying reform bill and a bill to implement the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission.

July: Republican Senator Accuses McConnell of "Dereliction of Duty" for Actions on Immigration. 
In July, columnist Bob Novak wrote, "I asked one of the few conservative Republican senators who stuck with President Bush on immigration to assess how Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell handled the issue. Asking not to be quoted by name, he replied: ‘If this were a war, Sen. McConnell should be relieved of command for dereliction of duty.' Not only did the minority leader end up voting against an immigration bill that he said was better than the 2006 version he supported, he abandoned his post, staying off the floor during final stages of the debate." 

August: McConnell Led the Fight Against Expanding Health Care to Over 3 Million Uninsured Children. 
In August McConnell voted against bipartisan legislation to expand children's health care to an additional 3.2 million kids across America.  The day before, McConnell voted for and cosponsored a watered down bill that would  have eliminated coverage for 3.2 million kids that were covered under the bipartisan proposal.  The GOP alternative also changed reimbursement rules putting the coverage of hundreds of thousands of children in danger.

September: McConnell Pledged to "Support the President" in Opposition to Children's Health Bill.
In September, along with voting against the initial version of the children's health bill, McConnell signaled he would vote "no" on the final version of the bill as well, saying, "I intend to support the president."

October: McConnell Knew That His Office Spread Erroneous Rumors Against Child, But He Still Claimed There Was No Involvement.
In October, a McConnell aide admitted that he had sent an email to reporters highlighting charges made on conservative blogs accusing the family of a child who helped promote the children's health program of being undeserving of federal assistance. McConnell was aware that his staff was personally involved in smearing the family. But asked in an interview if his office had encouraged reporters to investigate the family of a young boy who had promoted the SCHIP program, McConnell repeatedly denied any involvement adding, "there was no involvement whatsoever….None." 

November: McConnell's Handpicked Governor Loses Reelection Bid By 18-Points. 
In November, McConnell's handpicked Kentucky Gubernatorial candidate, Ernie Fletcher lost his bid for reelection.  Not only had McConnell picked and encouraged Fletcher to run in 2003, but he also heavily campaign for him in his 2007 race.  In the final days of the campaign, McConnell appeared with Fletcher and praised him as "extremely intelligent" and of "wonderful character," McConnell even recorded radio ads for Fletcher calling him "the best governor for Louisville in my lifetime…" 

December: McConnell Tried to Justify Iraq Deaths by Saying That the Soldiers Weren't "Draftees"  
In December, the Grayson County News Gazette reported that McConnell said, "I won't tell you everything is great in Iraq; it is not. But we want to keep a steady flow of funds so that we don't disrupt the military.  Unfortunately, most of our friends on the other isle are having a hard time admitting things are getting better; some days I almost think the critics of this war don't want us to win. Nobody is happy about losing lives but remember these are not draftees, these are full-time professional soldiers." 

Senator McConnell has been a Grinch

In the last year, Senator McConnell has been a Grinch to the more than three million uninsured children who would benefit from the health care bill he blocked.  He's been anything but helpful to our soldiers in Iraq, blocking Democratic efforts to set a new course.  He's tried to allow a lot more elected officials to be naughty rather than nice by delaying true ethics reform.

The man is just begging for a lump of coal.

And we're just the folks to give it to him.

Click here to send Mitch McConnell a "virtual" lump of coal this holiday season.

Every day, Mitch McConnell is showing why come next election, we need a lot more than 51 Democratic Senators. By gumming up the works so badly, thwarting the will of the people, Mitch McConnell has been anything but good for America. 

And for that, he deserves a lump of coal.

Next year, we'll get to send Senator McConnell a message with our votes.  But for now, let's just make sure that this holiday season he gets a stocking overflowing with coal. 

After all, when it comes to sending Republicans a message about how bad they are for this country, it really is better to give than to receive.

************

Conservative Republican leaders -- led by Senators Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) -- would have preferred a continuing resolution (CR) that did not contain any new earmarks. But the Senate appropriators -- led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) with lots of earmarks for his re-election campaign -- insisted on an omnibus bill that would include 12,000 new earmarks. The reformers, getting no support from the White House, feel the GOP has missed a golden opportunity to re-brand itself as the party of fiscal integrity. EVANS-NOVAK REPORT

Yarmuth backs full bonuses for wounded soldiers, by James R. Carroll

Rep. John Yarmuth, D-3rd District, was among those who spoke in favor of legislation to guarantee bonuses to soldiers wounded in combat.

The legislation was prompted by reports that some veterans were being asked for pay back portions of their $10,000 enlistment bonuses when they were discharged for their injuries. The House is scheduled to vote on the measure this evening.

"We have spent much of this year uncovering and correcting shortfalls in this country's treatment of our uniformed heroes," Yarmuth said in a House floor speech. "Reversing negligence is one thing, but today, we address the reprehensible and willful act of docking a soldier's pay for being injured while answering the call of duty. This literally is our government adding insult to injury."

"These men and women left their homes and families," the Louisville congressman continued. "They paid with their time, bodies, and health for the security of our fellow citizens. Without them, we are defenseless. Thanks to them, we are the most powerful nation in the world."

Asking veterans to pay back part of their bonuses "is shameful at best," Yarmuth said.

"We owe them the best medical care, respect and honor, forthrightness, and at the very least we owe them the payment they were promised," he said. VIDEO

‘Economy That Works For All’ Equips Workers to Turn Nation Around, by James Parks,

We experience it every day. The economy is not working for working families. We work longer hours than workers in any developed nation, but have less to show for it.

Working people have made the U.S. economy the strongest in the world, yet wages and family incomes are stagnant, income insecurity and inequality are rising, health care benefits are eroding and pensions are disappearing. 

Consider that workers’ productivity almost quadrupled between 1947 and 2005, while wages have not even doubled in that time. Where has the money gone? In 1980, the average CEO made 42 times the salary of the average blue-collar worker. In 2006, the ratio had jumped to 364-1, the highest in the developed world by far.

After World War II, real family incomes doubled and the incomes of the poorest families increased even faster than those of the richest families. But since 1973, the  incomes of the richest 20 percent of families have risen much faster than those of the other 80 percent.

Between 1979 and 2001, the incomes of the top 0.1 percent—families earning $1.7 million a year—increased by 181 percent. And incomes of the top 0.01 percent (one-tenth of one percent—those earning $6 million a year) grew by nearly 500 percent. Long-term, structural shifts have created this shift in wealth from working families to CEOs and big corporations.

Union members have a new tool to challenge the corporate-driven economic policies that benefit Big Business at the expense of working families. The AFL-CIO has launched  “An Economy That Works For All,” a train-the-trainer member education program that provides facts on the reasons underlying the structural shift in our economy and explaining how we can dismantle the corporate agenda and build a working family agenda. Click here for more information.

So far, some 612 union members have been trained to present the program to their unions and community groups. One of them is Connie Goodly-LaCour, assistant to the president of the Baltimore Teachers Union/AFT, who says she has used the program to train building representatives, church groups and even teachers in the Virgin Islands.

It’s great. I like it. It talks about politics and makes people aware of what’s really happening to them. It tells how things were more equal in the 1970s and how corporate greed took over and squeezed the middle class.    

The “Economy That Works For All” presentation makes it clear working families are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet because of decisions made by policymakers and their Wall Street cronies.

The training program includes key facts about the economy such as how the wealthy are becoming wealthier while U.S. workers—the most productive in the world—are losing ground. It also explains how good jobs are disappearing as companies export jobs and capital seeking the lowest labor costs and how employers are systematically cutting back on hard-won benefits such as health care and pensions.  

For Dave Cormier, a professor at West Virginia University’s Institute for Labor Studies and Research, “An Economy That Works For All” is the perfect antidote to “paying the price of ignorance—and by ignorance, I mean not having information.”

It is very important for union members to get economic information directly and to make them aware of what’s going on around them.

Goodly-LaCour says she especially likes “An Economy That Works For All” because it’s not just about education. It’s about taking political action to bring change.

Every time I use it, I add another page to it. Because we’re teachers, we talk about how everything about our jobs are determined by politics—the books we teach, our salaries. And I love the fact that you can use it for more than union members. You can take it to community groups, so people understand what’s going on.

IRAN -- McCAIN LAUGHS OFF 'BOMB BOMB IRAN' MOMENT: In April, a questioner asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) if an attack on Iran was in the works. "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran," McCain responded, to the tune of the Beach Boys song Barbara Ann. (Watch it.) NBC's First Read reports that, at an event in South Carolina on Saturday, a man reminded McCain of that moment and asked what he will do now in the wake of the National Intelligence Estimate that says Iran has shut down its nuclear program. McCain responded, "No thanks for reminding me, you jerk. [Laughter]. I don't know where the intelligence came from. ... I don't detect a change in Iranians behavior...they still pose a threat to our country." In September, when a high school student asked McCain whether he was too old and too conservative to be president, McCain responded, "Thanks for the question, you little jerk. You're drafted."

ETHICS -- SCANDAL-INFESTED TED STEVENS DOLES OUT EARMARKS FOR 'RODENT CONTROL': Currently, Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) is under investigation by the FBI for his relationship with an Alaska energy company and his use of earmarks to reward his friends. This summer, FBI agents raided Stevens's home in Alaska, the first ever raid of a sitting senator's home. Yet such scrutiny apparently hasn't changed the behavior of Stevens, who added $88 million in "earmarks and directed spending" to this year's omnibus bill. His earmarks included $975,000 for berry research, $825,000 for "alternative salmon products," and $113,000 for "rodent control." But more significantly, he directed $3.5 million to the Alaska Sealife Center, "which is being investigated by the FBI, Department of Interior and the Internal Revenue Service as part of their inquiry into Stevens." They are looking at whether the senator directed funds there to benefit his friend and longtime business partner Trevor McCabe, a former aide to the senator. In 2005, Stevens directed millions of dollars to the SeaLife Center, which then paid over $500,000 to McCabe to buy a parcel of his land.

ADMINISTRATION -- FCC OVERTURNS 32 YEAR-OLD CROSS-OWNERSHIP BAN: Yesterday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) abolished the longstanding "newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership" ban that prohibits a newspaper from owning a broadcast station in the same market. The vote was 3 to 2, with President Bush's appointee chairman Kevin Martin leading the majority. Prior to the vote, a bipartisan group of 25 senators threatened to introduce legislation overriding the FCC's impending decision, saying that easing ownership rules will lead to "more industry consolidation, eliminate independent voices and degrade local news coverage." The dissenting minority on the Commission called the White-House backed decision "a Christmas present to the nation's largest conglomerates." Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein said yesterday that with newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership, "there is less local news in the market as a whole and there is less competition for stories and ideas."

IRAQ -- AT LEAST THREE OTHER WOMEN WERE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED WHILE WORKING FOR KBR IN IRAQ: Last week, Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) said on CNN that he did not believe that the gang rape in Iraq of former Halliburton/KBR employee Jamie Leigh Jones was "an isolated case of assault." Poe then encouraged "other victims" to contact his office. In prepared testimony for the House Judiciary Committee yesterday, Poe said that his office had been contacted by three women other than Jones about sexual assaults they suffered while working for KBR in Iraq. Poe named one of the women, Tracy Barker, "who says that she was sexually assaulted in Iraq by a State Department employee who still works at the State Department today." ABC News identified the State Department employee as Ali Mokhtare, whom the Justice Department "declined to prosecute," despite "a recommendation from the State Department that he be charged." Poe said that the other two women had both reported "sexual assaults and sexual harassment by their coworkers." He also said that one of the women asserted that KBR not only protected an accused rapist, but also punished her for contacting Army MPs about the situation. In her testimony yesterday, Jones said that her job had also been threatened. KBR supervisors told her there was "no guarantee of a job," either in Iraq or back in Houston, if she didn't "stay and get over it." She also revealed that she has been contacted by 11 other women who have also been assaulted by contractors in Iraq.

"While violence is down in Iraq, Americans continue to die and fall badly wounded, and suffer severe stress and trauma caused by 15-month tours of duty. A remarkable article on Friday in the Army Times is titled: 'Not us. We're not going: Soldiers in 2nd Platoon, Charlie 1-26 stage a mutiny that pulls the unit apart."

Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) writes of "the case for impeachment hearings." Along with fellow House Judiciary Committee members Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Wexler is calling for the commencement of impeachment hearings against Vice President Cheney. 

The House-Senate conference report on the FY 2008 intelligence authorization bill "is heavily focused on the use of private contractors by intelligence agencies," stating that the intelligence community lacks clear definitions of functions to be performed by contractors and whether contractors are performing tasks "that should be performed by government employees

Former Senate majority leader Bill Frist "was seen out in front of the White House Monday on a Segway." Frist is said to be filming a new commercial for Coca-Cola, which puts him at odds with former Senate majority leader Bob Dole, who promoted Pepsi.

The Politico reports that some Senate Democrats are exploring ways to replace Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) as chairman of the Appropriations Committee, "believing he's no longer physically up to the job." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is "not in favor of such a move."

"Americans could save $1.5 trillion in healthcare costs over the next decade while covering the uninsured and improving overall quality," according to the Commonwealth Fund. "But it would take widespread reforms to root out inefficiency, not to mention higher tobacco taxes and other levies."

"Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) is threatening to withhold support for legislation making technical corrections to the 2005 highway bill if it does not require a 'full and open' investigation into the now-notorious Coconut Road earmark" of Rep. Don Young (R-AK).

Yesterday, Congress "struck back at the Bush administration's trend toward secrecy since the 2001 terrorist attacks, passing legislation to toughen the Freedom of Information Act and increasing penalties on agencies that don't comply."

"The first Democratic-led Congress in a dozen years limped out of Washington last night with a lengthy list of accomplishments," but failed "to address the central issues that swept them to power."

The CIA agreed yesterday "to make documents related to the destruction of interrogation videotapes available to the House Intelligence Committee and to allow the agency's top lawyer, John Rizzo, to testify about the matter." It is unclear whether Jose Rodriguez, who ordered the destruction, will testify.

The Senate yesterday confirmed Julie Myers as head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, two years after President Bush first appointed her. Myers most recently came under fire for awarding "Most Original Costume" to an employee who dressed in a racially offensive Halloween costume.

Record-Breaking Obstruction: How It Screwed You, By Bill Scher

Tony Snow: ‘The Second War In This Country’ Is ‘The War On God’

The winsome and articulate Tony Snow charmed his audience with wit:

“The average Iranian is more Pro-American than virtually any college faculty in this country.” And with serious talk about the war on terror and “the second war in this country, the war on God.” […]

Snow also said he loved being on a stage where he could say the word “God.”  SOURCE

White House told to detail Christian leader visits 

18 Dec 2007 // A U.S. judge ordered the Secret Service on Monday to disclose records of visits by nine prominent conservative Christian leaders to the White House and Vice President Dick Cheney's residence.

The ruling, in response to a legal watchdog group's suit, could shed light on the influence leaders like James Dobson of Focus on the Family have had on President George W. Bush's administration. It may also affect legal efforts to force the release of visiting records of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and other similar cases.

"We think that these conservative Christian leaders have had a very big impact," said Executive Director Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which filed the case.

"The White House doesn't want to talk about how much influence these leaders have, and we want to talk about how much they do have," she said.

Dobson is one of the most influential opinion leaders among conservative Christians who are at the heart of Bush's political base.

Others whose visiting records were sought included Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer, who unsuccessfully sought the 2000 Republican presidential nomination, and Moral Majority co-founder Jerry Falwell, who died in last May.  THE REST OF THE ARTICLE
