been almost in full flower during 2013 and it s about to intensify in 2014. i want to show people this, because mcconnell stayed out of the shutdown fight until harry reid and he came together on a deal and that s something matt b bevin has criticized him for. take a look. he calls himself a proud guardian of gridlock. he s blocked the senate over 400 times, and then voted to shut down the government, hurting kentucky s economy mitch mcconnell can t light the house on fire, then claim credit for putting it out. so mcconnell s campaign, they responded to the grimes ad with this one. take a peek. ultimately gridlock is not good for the market. panic, gridlock. gridlock is about inaction. gridlock and games.
