Watch the Republican Senator from Kentucky, Mitch McConnell lie:

This is what Republicans do, they smear (swiftboat) their opposition, then lie about it.

What's a "loose canon"?
Differing from a "loose cannon" which means - an irresponsible or reckless person, a "loose canon" refers to a loose set of rules, in this case ... my rules. Unlike many conservative bloggers that stifle debate and delete comments, I don't!

Conservatism: clinical tendencies
A study funded by the US Government's National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as: a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity". (see report)

A study by NYU and UCLA published in the Journal Nature Neuroscience shows liberals have a greater cognitive ability to problem solve and cope with changing conditions than conservatives who are more "persistent and structured" and are more reliant on "habitual responses." From the study:

"Liberalism was associated with stronger conflict-related anterior cingulate activity, suggesting greater neurocognitive sensitivity to cues for altering a habitual response pattern."Essentially, conservatives tend to rely on ‘persistence’ in a ‘habitual response pattern,’ despite signals that this response pattern should change... (i.e. "stay the course")

Study in Current Biology:
Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity - the anterior cingulate cortex, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear - the right amygdala.

William:
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Mitch McConnell is a lying fuckbag--but he sure has a purty mouth!
FWIW, I spent some time with a friend (a very rightwing couple, actually) yesterday. He had a massive heart attack some months ago and is working at getting back his life. He has spent thousands of dollars out of pocket (because he did not want to "waste" his money on a good health insurance policy, which he could, at the time, afford). He is getting some sort of financial break from the hospital in the next state because he fell about $500 short of missing the cut-off for earnings (there's always a silver lining in a massive coronary). In any event, he and his mate were both saying that poor Larry Craig was being unfairly treated.
How the fuck can you reason with that level of willful ignorance?
