Even with the country on the brink of default, the Senate's highest ranking Republican says his "single most important" goal is to make Barack Obama a one-term president.
"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told National Journal's Major Garrett in October.
Fox News' Bret Baier asked McConnell Sunday if that was still his major objective.
"Well, that is true," McConnell replied. "That's my single most important political goal, along with every active Republican in the country."
"But that is in 2012," he added. "Our biggest goal for this year is get this country straightened out and we can't get this country straightened out if we don't do something about spending, about deficit, about debt and get the economy moving again. So our goal is to have a robust vibrant economy to benefit all Americans."
So yeah, the economy kinda sort but getting rid of President Blackguard McDarkkenyan, that's the "single most important political goal" of every Republican in the country. They hate Obama that much. Getting rid of him is more important than the economy, politically.
If we pay attention to what Republicans say when they accidentally tell the truth, we shouldn't be surprised at the actions that follow. We shouldn't be surprised that the GOP-led House has blocked every single job measure the Democrats have brought up this year and have put forth zero job bills of their own.
That's because they are now fully invested in wrecking the economy for political gain. McConnell, my own Senator, just admitted that getting rid of Obama is more important than fixing the economy, and that goes for all active Republicans. One would almost think that McConnell is threatening the American people with "Get rid of the President or we'll continue to make you miserable."
Priorities, people. Priorities.
