67-31 vote to break his filibuster and raise the debt ceiling.
12 worthless benedict GOP hacks voted with the dems to break the filibuster:
Barrasso
Collins
Corker
Cornyn - Up for Primary
Flake
Johanns(retiring)
Hatch
Kirk
McCain
McConnell - Up for Primary
Murkowski
Thune
I live in Texas and have been working hard to make sure John Cornyn is defeated in the GOP primary next month. Time and time again he works behind the scenes to defeat conservatives. Hopefully McConnell gets sent packing too.

This is probably the nail in the coffin for McConnell. He will lose his primary

Inside the Very Awkward End to the Debt-Ceiling Wars - Boehner made his announcement, and no one clapped
Boehner is retiring.
Boehner is retiring.

The Hill recently surveyed dozens of Republicans in the House and the consensus was that the only lawmaker who could defeat Cantor is Ryan.
The wonky Budget Committee chairman, however, said Thursday that he does not want to be Speaker. Ryan is expected to lead the Ways and Means next year, with few expecting the 2012 vice presidential nominee to launch a White House bid.
Cantor has a better shot at the top House spot for a number of reasons, according to political science professor Jack Pitney.
They include: "Having been a member of the leadership for several years now, establishing national name identification, being able to raise money, showing that he can excel at both the inside game and the outside game, according to Pitney, who teaches at Claremont McKenna College.
Cantor has already raised more than $5 million for the 2013-2014 cycle, and has more than $2 million cash on hand between his personal campaign fund and his leadership PAC called Every Republican is Crucial (ERIC), according to the federal election money tracking website Opensecrets.org.
Cantor has had a seat at the GOP leadership table since then-House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) selected him to be chief deputy whip in 2002. That has helped him foster relationships with many in the GOP conference.
A source close to Cantor said the Richmond-area lawmaker is a “patient man,” and has built a strong team that could take the reins if and when the job of Speaker is open.
Other Republicans who have been mentioned as a potential Boehner successors include Reps. Jeb Hensarling (Texas), Tom Price (Ga.) and Tom Cole (Okla.)

Flake
I remember an article a while back from a reputable source citing a study that rated him as the most conservative senator in congress. I laughed my arse off at it and I'm still laughing right now.

I know it will never happen but I would LOVE it if Rand Paul jumped ship and endorsed McConnell's opponent in the primary (he had already endorsed McConnell before he was primaried).

I fully understand your frustration with Cornyn but are you aware of who his challenger is ? Steve Stockman is basically a dishonest loon. Can't wait to get him out of the House.
