With a major bridge in his district closed, Kentucky Rep. John Yarmuth (D) slammed Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for opposing infrastructure investments included in President Obama's jobs plan.
Mitch, rode a wave of hatred back in 1975, into office on the "forced Busing" issue. Look at where Jefferson County is now. Still busing kids across the county every school day. In 1975, there was talk in Jefferson county about doing something about the bridges, look at where we are now. The Shermin Minton bridge is shut down indefinitely, with no new bridge even started. Who are these idiots voting for him?!? He does nothing, and yet gets re-elected, and KY is in the tank, as usual.
A good point that could be made more simply. Newly-elected (and some old-line) GOP Congressmen & Senators can't expect ALL their constituents to believe they're friendly to job-creation because 1) they say so, and 2) block and denigrate any/all/every attempt to take action to DO so.
