Republican leader breaks major campaign promise after 24 hours

By Brent Budowsky - 11/05/10 11:45 AM ET

Gotta hand it to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) for breaking his major campaign promise to political independents within 24 hours of the polls closing. After promising to political independents to end the bickering in Washington and to work together to create jobs for Americans, the Senate Republican leader said jobs are not his major priority, his major priority is destroying President Obama in 2012.

Perhaps that is why senators who lead Democrats from Nevada, New York and Washington state were all returned to the Senate and their leadership posts and why the minority leader remains the minority leader.

My guess is that a lot of political independents who voted for Republicans might want refunds soon.
