Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell says he will not allow another government shutdown as part of a strategy to repeal ObamaCare.

McConnell (Ky.) told The Hill in an interview Thursday afternoon that his party learned a painful political lesson over the past 16 days, as its approval rating dropped while the government was shuttered.

He said there’s no reason to go through the political wringer again in January, when the stopgap measure Congress passed late Wednesday is set to expire.

“One of my favorite old Kentucky sayings is there’s no education in the second kick of a mule. The first kick of a mule was when we shut the government down in the mid-1990s and the second kick was over the last 16 days,” he said. “There is no education in the second kick of a mule. There will not be a government shutdown.

“I think we have fully now acquainted our new members with what a losing strategy that is,” he added.

What a worthless little worm. He is the leader of the Senate and he hid the whole time during the shutdown. He hid during the Syria mess. He hides all the time and now he has his $2 billion and he is saying stupid stuff like this. Can't wait to see you lose your seat asshole.

His words absolutely repulses me !!

He is a vile and disgusting sold out quisling. (And unfortunately he is just one of many there. Any one still think the 17th Amendment didn't have a real "purpose?" lol)

He needs to be primaried, along with McCain and Pete King.

McConnell has shown the way.
With a few billion for bribery....er.....pork....you too can be a surrender monkey.

THAT is what the true lesson of this is.

And where are the leaders? so few suddenly. The lure of money must be overwhelming them.

That's all I can think.

Principles devolve into vices and we end up going along with the sons and daughters of perdition.

What's he have to say about it? It seems to be up to the House.

Who cares..by now, the republicans have very little support from their own people.
