McConnell is obscuring his position on a number of policy issues. 1. Ryan budget? What Ryan budget? McConnell has been an aggressive supporter of the controversial budget blueprints by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to slash taxes and privatize Medicare — he voted for them when they came up in 2011, 2012, and 2013. 2. Obamacare is unconnected to ... Obamacare It is a cruel irony that McConnell, Obamacares most formidable enemy, hails from a state where it is working considerably well. In May, faced with the fact that some 413,000 Kentuckians are benefiting from Obamacare via its popular state exchange Kynect, McConnell told home state reporters the two were unconnected when asked if he wanted to dismantle Kynect. Kynect is inoperable without the health care law which provides the subsidies, consumer protections and coverage mandates from which Kentuckians are benefit. Without Obamacare, Kynect is hollow. McConnell does not offer alternate plan to reconstruct Kynect in a world without Obamacare. 3. Violence Against Women Act? Im all for it!

Although he did cosponsor VAWA legislation in 1991, which his campaign testimonial touted, the packet neglected to mention that McConnell voted against passage of the bill when it originally came up in 1993. He also voted against reauthorizing it in 2012 and 2013, the only two times that Congress has held recorded votes to renew it.
