Source: Think Progress
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has an interesting new recruiting strategy for conservatives. Conservatives are more simply more fun than liberals, and there is a reason for that, he told the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference this morning. Were always right. Watch it:
Speaking in 2009 to CPAC, McConnell made the same argument, commenting, Who wants to hang out with guys like Paul Krugman and Robert Reich when you can be with Rush Limbaugh?
My plans for a rockin time out dont generally include hanging out with my friends in conference rooms getting all self-congratulatory about our stances on policy, but to each his own. If McConnell wants to rebrand conservatism as Americas most entertaining ideological movement, hes probably going to have to come up with a better reason people should believe him.

McConnell must enjoy it when he sleeps in his turtle shell.

(20,888 posts)and as to the question of who would the average male American want to hang out with an old balding blow hard guy, or a hot lesbian cougar? Hmm., I'm pretty sure even Rush wants to hang out with Stephanie Miller.
Rush is the kind of guy you have a beer with while dreaming of having a beer with women like Stephanie Miller.

(4,723 posts)who are so hopelessly out of touch with what most people go through on a daily basis, who want to force Americans to worship the Christian god, who are obsessed with controlling women's bodies.
Another thing, Turtlehead: people who think that they're always right are generally not very fun to be around. In fact, they tend to be pompous and arrogant. What is fun, Turtlehead, is watching someone who thinks they're "always right" make an ass of themselves. As you do, Mitch. On second thought Republicans are pretty fun, they do provide hours of stupidity to laugh at.

After all, when you're the king, it's just a great time.
Morally weak, cowardly thugs. So much fun to be around!

Being raked over hot coals would be preferable to spending a microsecond with Rush, McConnell, et. al.
I actually can't think of a single conservative who I could imagine spending a fun time with. Otherwise, they wouldn't be conservatives.
