Mitch McConnell has had a long and distinguished career in the Senate watching out for the greediest and least patriotic among us. He has been a constant enemy to campaign finance reform and fair elections that would not allow Corporations to buy off politicians like, well Mitch McConnell.
"Senator McConnell has taken $523,000 from health insurers, and given more than 50 floor speeches spouting their talking points," said David Donnelly, Public Campaign Action Fund's national campaigns director. "As the Senate begins its second day of debate on health care reform legislation, the insurance interests are getting their money's worth from their 'Insurance Puppet,' Mitch McConnell."
The debate over health care legislation has highlighted the problem of money in politics, and the need for comprehensive change in the way elections are financed," Donnelly added.
"It's time for Congress to pass the Fair Elections Now Act." Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) introduced the Fair Elections Now Act in order to reduce the pressures of fundraising on federal candidates. It provides qualified candidates the option to run for office with a mixture of small donations and public funds.
Yes, this is something that Mitch McConnell can wear as a badge of honor because he is a puppet of anyone that will pay to steal wages, rights, and benefits from working Americans. It is no surprise he is the first "Insurance Puppet" touted by this group. Congrats Mitch!!: Photobucket You can now take your rightful place among the "Pork Kings of Kentucky."
