What has the GOP received in compensation for concessions made to the White House ever since they won a majority in both houses of Congress? We understand that legislating is a game of give and take. It's evident what we've given, budget concessions and the like. What we haven't seen are the concessions from the White House. Could you cite some examples?

With the Congress and Senate having some of the lowest public support of any other time, are any of you actual looking at what the American people are saying or are all of you too busy playing politics and counting your Money? And if any of you do care then what are you doing about it, what are your plans to correct what wrong has been done?

From your time in government, what is the contribution to your home state of Kentucky you are most proud of? What goals and initiatives do you hope to pass for Kentucky in the coming month's or years?

As a Republican myself and in its beliefs in my opinion Mr. McConnell you are weak and have NO Backbone for the position you have waited for all your life. Your weakness is clear from failure to bring up Kates Law and dealing with Obama. The Republicans have complete control of both bodies and have been COMPLETE FAILURES. So WAKE UP , GROW a SET and get something done for AMERICA & Americans or just get the hell out and let someone else take the reigns and fix America who I gave an oath to which is more than I can say for you bunch of nothings in Washington DC . Your oath is to fill your pockets and talk trash. When you accomplish something useful perhaps I will change my thoughts about you and the other complete idiots until then, I'll end there !

We keep hearing that the VA is getting fixed, but hear the horror stories from fellow servicemembers or news stories of Vets dying while waiting. Why is it taking so long and why do retirees not have a better pension plan something similar to that of the congress? Thank you for your time.

Why does our political system not work for "We The People", as clearly displayed over decades of misappropriation of $$ from programs designed to ensure our well being in years to come ?

Senator, you've probably heard it all during your career and I can't imagine asking anything new, except, why is it so difficult to understand the public's perception of Congress and for Congress to act in the public's interest - truly in the public's interest? Bickering and fighting between political parties, having personal agendas, are NOT in the public interest.

I agree and so do many Americans, isn't it about time that the Senators and Congressmen/women have term limits? The President had term limits because the fear of too much power, well isn't that the case in Congress right now. And we need either term limits or an age limit for those on the Supreme Court.
I am and have always been a Republican but at this time, I don't believe that either party is really for the people, at lease not the American people.
Congress wants to cut military families benefits while increasing their own. Does that seem right?
You in Government have to start doing what the American People want, .

If Mitch McConnell thinks 32 years in the Senate is "The Long Game" he is sadly mistaken. I served 21 years in the military and 21 years in DOD (mostly with the Army in Germany) and was a foot soldier in the GOP in 63-64 for that presidential campaign as well. Read Senator Goldwater's acceptance speech at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, and absolutely nothing has changed since then... the social progressive democrats have destroyed the fabric of our country starting with the rape of social security by Lyndon Johnson in order to fund Vietnam AND his welfare giveaway entitlement programs. This is most likely the defining moment in electoral politics for the United States, and will determine if we survive or not. If he wants to to be remembered as a horses's ass he will do nothing. If he wants to be remembered as part of the team that protected our national heritage, Original Intent, he will define the fight for nominations to the Supreme Court and the Federal Judiciary based on the litmus test decided in the pages of National Review and the Puget Sound Law Review concerning Original Intent and the refusal to approve Judge Bork. The first step is to set up a superPAC (Writ of Mandamus.org) to fund the attack on the Obama Justice Department to force the indictment and prosecution of Hilary Clinton. It is time to forge a new "Contract with America" to overturn and remove social progressive political victories, and to stop uncontrolled governement spending. For 19 trillion dollars what have we gotten in return?

Why haven't you or any of your colleagues honored the oath of office you swore to when you took office and protected the Constitution from being trashed by the sitting President? If it were up to me, I would impeach every one of you who allowed thiss to take place.
