We all know that the only thing Sen. Mitch McConnell cares about is advancing his own power. Issues, principles, constituents, the welfare of America… all of those can be sacrificed when it comes to looking after Mitch.
And we now learn that Mitch is seeking help in order to determine what issues he should pretend to care about. In order to, you know, help Mitch deceive you into thinking that he cares about you and win re-election this Fall.
KY’s best journalist, John Cheves, brings home the goods:
Late last week, McConnell mailed out a “Kentucky Issues Survey” to people whom he identifies as “select” conservative voters.
********
McConnell warned that his political opponents could undermine the United States’ economy and national security by catering to Democrats, trial lawyers, labor unions, MoveOn.org and other “radical left” interest groups. Then he offered a quiz, including:
“Which issue, if any, do you believe I should focus on between now and Nov. 4?”
The choices: “Abortion, Economy, Education, Health Care, Immigration, Judges, Second Amendment, War on Terrorism, Other.”
“What do you think is the best way for my campaign to communicate with voters?”
The choices: “Direct mail, Internet, Door-to-door canvassing, Large public events, TV/radio ads, Other.”
And finally, “Can I count on you to return this SURVEY DOCUMENT along with your generous gift in the next seven days?”
The choices: “Yes Mitch! I am returning my completed SURVEY DOCUMENT along with the most generous gift I can afford in the amount of $1,000, $500, $250, $50, $25, other.”
Or, in much smaller type: “You have my complete support! However, I cannot give a contribution at this time, but I have enclosed $13 to cover the costs of tabulating the results of my survey.”
Pretty pathetic, Mitch.
