And the image they've painted isn't very pretty."

And, he warned: "In politics, there's a name for a regional party: it's called a minority party." "As Republicans, we know that common sense conservative principles aren't regional.

Sure. We also need to keep addressing the big issues of this time: energy (conservation is fine, but we also need to up production and seek new energy sources), the environment (of course we should protect the environment--but some of the claims being made concerning "global warming" are based on questionable science, and there are legitimate questions as to whether warming is due to human action), and, of course, how to create jobs and grow the economy. But it's good Senator McConnell is adding his voice to the continuing conversation.
