More quotes by Mitch McConnell
As the leader of the Republicans what I'm telling that we elected the president to be president. It's time for him to step up to the plate and lead us in the direction of reducing our excessive spending.
Mitch McConnell
If you believe one of the biggest problems confronting the country is overregulation by this administration, the single most effective way to begin to rein in the aggressive regulators, who in my view have done great damage to this economy, is in the bills that fund the regulators.
Mitch McConnell
The minimum wage is mostly an entry-level wage for young people.
Mitch McConnell

The worst day of my political life was when President George W. Bush signed McCain-Feingold into law.
Mitch McConnell
We're living under the Obama economy. Any CEO in America with a record like this after three years on the job would be graciously shown the door. This president blames the managers instead. He blames the folks on the shop floor. He blames the weather.

Mitch McConnell
We didn't make much progress on the country's agenda. And in my view it's because the Senate basically hadn't done much of anything, with a couple of exceptions, for the last four years [of Barack Obama's presidency]. And that's going to change.
Mitch McConnell
For everybody who thinks it's warming, I can find somebody who thinks it isn't.

Mitch McConnell
I think it is to the advantage of my state to have the opportunity to come to meetings occasionally and to vote in person, rather than just by proxy.
Mitch McConnell
The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.
Mitch McConnell
Sometime in the near future we'll have a vote on repealing Obamacare, essentially the same vote that we had in 2015. I would remind everyone that in that proposal there's a two-year delay, a two-year delay which would give us the opportunity to work out a complete replacement on a bipartisan basis with our Democratic friends.
Mitch McConnell
I've often wished we had more women in the Senate.
