McConnellcare's Boy Scout values

Sen. Mitch McConnell proves with his proposed health care legislation that he is the Senate’s true Boy Scout.

Like a Scout McConnell is:

Trustworthy: The wealthiest Americans, PHARMA, and device manufactures can depend on him for a huge tax break.

▪ Loyal: His loyalty first is to his party, second is to his party, third is to his party, the American people,well, maybe.

▪ Helpful: To the richest Americans who so desperately need a tax break.

▪ Friendly: To the poor maligned rich.

▪ Courteous: He is very polite when he lies and when he hurts the underprivileged.

▪ Kind: He will only slowly deprive the poor of health care, unless you are a woman using reproductive services.

▪ Obedient: To the wishes of his wealthy patrons.

▪ Cheerful: See him smile so broadly as he throws 23 million off health coverage.

▪ Thrifty: Savings millions for millionaires

▪ Brave: Standing up to the 75 percent of Americans who believe what he wants to do is wrong for our country.

▪ Clean: But one probably wants to shower after dealing with him, and,

▪ Reverent: Worshiping the opportunity to stick it to the poor and to the legacy of Obama
