Guiding your troops in retreat or surrender is still technically leadership, but it’s not the kind that conservatives were expecting or seeking when the Republicans were given the majority control of the Senate in November. Unfortunately, to this point at least, that is exactly the type of sellout leadership we are experiencing. Conservative leaders have had enough, making their sentiments known Wednesday at a Heritage Foundation gathering called “Conversations with Conservatives.” The target of their criticism was the good ‘ole boy from Kentucky, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

There was plenty of criticism to go around, with Rep Raul Labrador (R-ID) suggesting that McConnell is no better than his Democrat predecessor Harry Reid.

Labrador said, “It’s uncanny to me that our leadership is already sending the message that we’ve already lost this battle,” referring to the premature amnesty surrender announcement of McConnell from the Republican Retreat last week. McConnell stated in a closed-door bicameral session that the Senate didn’t have the votes to overturn amnesty and he didn’t have a way of producing them.
