Mitch McConnell's wife is the labor secretary

She is the most anti worker SoL in years. This needs to be repeated OVER AND OVER. The media needs to mention Elaine Chao everytime McConnell is given the mic or allowed within 10 feet of the podium. Mitch McConnell's wife is the Secretary of Labor.
We should never again have to allow McConnell airtime or even a chance to pontificate on auto workers-or any other workers without stating this-McConnells wife is the SoL.

4. pant loads-both!

the McConnell's and the Gramms. I am just livid that people just ignore this. The wives are as corrupt as their husbands. I am just so insulted by elaine chaso-I can't adequately express it. That this woman-and equally her husband have ANY SAY in workers rights-or lives. I ams still just livid over this. It's fricken 1:15am. I'm due to get ready for work at 5:30am. To top it off, I have a good job, and I'm not union, so it isn't as if I have skin in this. I am just appalled that people actually take this man seriously considering his wife's record.
Sorry to rant.

3. I didn't know that

Once upon a time we'd call this a conspiracy.

It's a conspiracy to undermine the people who go to work each day and try to raise a family. They bust their asses to limit the American dream to the exclusive few, and it appears their hard work has paid off.

If they didn't plan it all this way, they sure got incredibly lucky.

Thanx

5. Did you ever watch his wife testify before Congress? She's an idiot!

I've watched her twice. EVERY question whe was asked she turned over to her subordinate to answer! EVERY ONE! I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I had no idea she was McConnels wife at the time! Talk about someone who isn't qualified for the job!!!!! DAMN!

6. Kinda like Wendy Gramm running the CFTC in the '90s, huh?

Nothing like a little nepotism. It should be illegal of course. Used to be.

I agree, this need saying with every statement.

11. "But he still won his state." Did he?

Until We the People regain control over the election process and elections are truly open and transparent, I will remain skeptical of any Republic "win".

How huge a margin did Obama actually have to have to win the Presidency? Even the M$M and pollsters had to admit to an 8% lead, so it had to be twice that just to get the final 2% of the vote that put him over the top in so many states.

We don't win until every vote is counted AS IT WAS CAST.
