OVERRIDE!!! (despite the wingnut McConnell)

(crossposted at Ditch Mitch)

Some Republicans actually grew a heart today, cutting the unholy umbilical chord that attached themselves to President Bush, and voting to override his veto of the "Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act". This bill prevents a 10.6% cut in pay for doctors under Medicare, as explained here.

But here's the least shocking news, ever: Mitch McConnell once again voted with Bush and the extreme right-wing fringe in a losing effort.

Just how much of an extremist has McConnell showed himself to be? Take a look at how the Congressional representatives of KY voted. While Reverend Ron Lewis voted against the veto override, look who voted for it: Geoff(erson) Davis, Exxon Ed Whitfield, and Hal Rogers.

That's right. Mitch McConnell is such a fringe extremist that he is too the RIGHT of Davis, Whitfield and Rogers.

We are in for a tidal wave election this November, and fringe, extremists Republicans like Mitch McConnell are going to be swept away into political oblivion.
