Mitch "Welfare Queen" McConnell (R) I had a Republican friend call Vice President Joe Biden (D) the quintessential politician, then she voted for Paul Ryan (R) for Vice President, whose ONLY private sector business experience was a wiener mobile driver. More on that another time. To me at least, the definition of a quintessential politician is someone who is completely bought and paid for, doesn't spend much time in the state they work and has completely been ineffective for their state. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop them from getting elected.
Senator Mitch "Welfare Queen" McConnell (R) who has approved of the two greatest government spending sprees in the history of our country (Reagan and Bush), but rails against spending when given the opportunity, has created one of the biggest socialist, welfare states in the country, Kentucky. When researching this, I actually found this to be overwhelmingly a characteristic of Republican states. By welfare state, I mean states that take in way more federal money than they contribute to the general fund. Red states lead the way with this tactic.

This graphic floated around the internet and has data that is fairly old, but one should not discount the provable pattern. Why should I have to pay Kentucky because they have an inept Senator?
Let's recap some of Senator Welfare Queen McConnell's major accomplishments, shall we?
*Except for the Hatfields and McCoys.
- McConnell has guided the state of Kentucky to 7.5% unemployment, while the national average is around 6.3%.
- McConnell successfully plunged the state of Kentucky's poverty level to one of the worst in the country.
- When you type in Mitch McConnell in Google, the word "turtle" shows up in the list of suggestions.
- McConnell voted against the Violence Against Women Act and then lied about how he voted.
- McConnell lies about the success of the Affordable Healthcare Act to use it for political gain. He is called out by Representative John Yarmuth (D) in a four page letter illustrating his numerous inaccuracies.
- McConnell pretended to be concerned with the debt ceiling, costing tax payers tens of millions of dollars in extra interest. He had no problem increasing the debt ceiling 19 times during the Bush years of extravagance.
- McConnell created one of the biggest welfare states in the country.
