Yesterday I wondered whether we Republicans have a leader in Washington with an IQ in the triple digits. Now we have our answer.

Instead of fighting the trillion dollar crap sandwich and then pinning it on the Democrats in two years in order to offer a fiscally conservative alternative, Mitch the Magic Moron says the GOP could end up getting behind it.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Sunday said an economic stimulus plan could receive “significant support” from Republicans if Democratic leaders include the GOP and don’t rush the bill.

The Senate GOP leader suggested on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” that Republicans will decide their legislative strategy based on how Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) runs the process. If Reid and his aides allow Republican input, McConnell indicated that a stimulus plan could receive as many as 80 votes in the chamber…

“If they pursue a fair process…and give both sides an opportunity to have input, to have a true bipartisan stamp, he’s likely to get significant support,” McConnell said of a broad stimulus plan supported by President-elect Obama. “I don’t think that they even seriously can defend… doing this without bipartisan consideration.”

I’m beginning to regret that McConnell wasn’t defeated in his re-election bid this year. It’s quite obvious that Republicans in Washington have yet to wake up to reality. You can’t out-Democrat a Democrat and win. If voters have to choose between a Republican acting like a Democrat and a Democrat acting like a Democrat, why not just go for the real thing?
