From the Huffington Post:
Mitch McConnell, leader of a Republican minority that is now even smaller, suggested Tuesday that Sen. Arlen Specter's defection endangered not just the party, but the entire country.
"I think the threat to the country presented by this defection really relates to the issue of whether or not in the United States of America our people want the majority to have whatever it wants without restraint, without a check or a balance," McConnell said Tuesday.
"Obviously, we are not happy that Senator Specter has decided to become a Democrat," McConnell said. "If we are not successful in Minnesota ... Democrats, at least on paper, will have 60 votes. I think the danger of that for the country is that there won't automatically be an ability to restrain the excess that is typically associated with big majorities and single-party rule."
News for you Senator McConnell. The American people DO want the majority to be able to pass effective legislation without the obstructionism that's all the power your little party has left. That is why they elected Obama president and gave the Dems the majority in both houses.
Don't you get it?
Now quit stalling and allow Al Franken to take his rightful seat, and let us get on with solving the problems of this country.
