he wants to grant the President the authority to raise the debt limit more or less unilaterally in return for nothing save an opportunity to stage showy votes on various fiscal issues close to the GOP's "heart".
McConnell of course is a fervent believer in the Republican God of Thunder and Fundraising, so William S. Burroughs famous admonition does apply "When you are doing business with a religious son of a bitch, get it in writing, his word isn't worth shit not with the Good Lord telling him how to eff' you on a deal".
Otherwise assuming the Tea Party can be bought to terms on this deal (and I strongly doubt they can), it would seem the GOP is backing off from it's apocalyptic revolutionary agenda even as they plan to run on fiscal issues in 2012.
All I can say is, running on a balanced budget didn't do Walter Mondale a lick of good in 1984, good luck with those power point presentations and pie charts Mitch.
