Southern Hospitality

McConnell says blacks are not whites
So there's no need for voting rights
They all have the perk
Of going to work
Though a few may need to work nights!

Hello Rico ... politicians have their own agenda so they don't care who they hurt - thanks Rico - Lindsay

It is surprising they are not surfers as skimming is their number one skill . . . . .

It's clear Republicans don't give a damn for democracy, they will twist the 'rules' any way that suits them~

To say the least....It is a highly disgusting attitude.... ! The limerick throws light on all those who keep such a mean mentality. Well done Rico

To put it gently, Rico, McConnell sucks! And I would say that even if I were not from Kentucky! We keep trying to throw him out, but he has bought so many Kentuckians he'll probably be there until hell freezes over!

My Bybee ancestors settled Nobob Creek, and I am glad they were smart enough to move on West! When will voters ask what McConnell has done for his own constitutents????? KYs stats simply do not compare with the those of other states or developing nations!

It’s such a shame what this country has come to! Great poem as usual, Rico!

Consider how long he has served Kentucky, and the GOP with that attitude! Certainly time for a change!

McConnell may never get his ___ of the crack he's shoved it into this time. Here's what he actually said: “Well the concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans,” McConnell responded, Newsweek. His words make me cringe!

Like all politicians, what he actually said is now disputed, but his message was quite clear . . . .
