You may not have been following along on that side of the aisle, but Mitch hasn't been in lockstep, and in fact has been working against his own supposed party on many issues. This ain't the first time he's needed to be (verbally) crucified. All I'm saying is, people vote the way they want on an issue and that's fine, but there is a difference between 'voting your conscience' and continually trying to undermine the party's stated tenets.

Or if you were talking about Tulsi getting put on the national terror watchlist for leaving the democrat party, I don't know, maybe you're right - that is a little unnerving.
McConnell is almost singlehandedly responsible for the court being 6-3 rather than 5-4 with a sitting Merrick Garland. What he did there took massive stones.

And if it’s 5-4 Dobbs doesn’t go the way it did due to Roberts and his institutionalize bent for status quo.

Any conservative who calls himself pro-life owes McConnell enormous gratitude.

I’ve got a lot more respect for him than many in the current GOP who are clearly only there to kiss the ring and see how it personally benefits them.

No one should have to vote in lockstep with their party and it used to be that way. Now if you vote differently on one vote you’re suddenly a Nazi or Socialist traitor depending on your flavor of politics. The people in the middle kept those on the edges in check and now that’s virtually gone on both sides of the aisle.

Hope you can clean the sand out of your *** someday soon, Twinkletoes. I’m pulling for you.****

Because I don’t like the fact that we have two parties that don’t allow their members to ever disagree with them on anything?

Go re-read the first sentence of your post.
Go re-read the second sentence of my post.
I was commenting on you saying 18 years in the house and 18 years in the senate.
We're saying the same thing. But it appears that we both could have done better on the English portion of the ACT.

McConnell has been a Republican stalwart for decades. He's just not personally loyal to Trump so MAGA doesn't like him. Trump doesn't know how government works or how to pass legislation. All these EO's were written by knowledgeable Republicans. Still it's time for McConnell to go. Some of our leaders are just too old. The average age of engineers and scientists on the Manhattan Project was around 25.
