Being a lawyer does not qualify you to be in the US Senate any more than any other occupation does. How many lawyers voted for Obamacare without even reading it? How many voted for the recently passed amnesty bill without reading it?

You don't have to be a lawyer to vote on bills without reading them after lawyers working for special interest groups and staff lawyers write them. There are some good lawyers in Congress but they are badly outnumbered by the bad ones. The results from Washington indicate that we would be much better off with a Congress and Executive Branch in which elected officials represented a broader cross-section of occupations.

I don't like the job that McConnell is doing as Majority Leader and I would be much happier seeing an effective communicator like Ted Cruz (who is an outstanding lawyer) in that position. What we do not need is another liberal Democrat who will march in lockstep to Obama's socialist agenda. I am not saying that McConnell cannot lose but it is very, very unlikely. It is very difficult to defeat an incumbent Senator, regardless of what kind of job he or she has done.

McConnell falls short on a lot of fronts. However, he at least understands what America is supposed to be in light of the vision of the founding fathers. And, unlike his lemming counterparts across the aisle, he votes his conscience not how he's told. Dems will have a tough go of things in 2014. Not much else that could go wrong hasn't already gone wrong, not the least of which, is the dismal failure of ObamaCare. Polls show that most people don't trust this administration to conduct themselves honestly, that will hurt.
