You can say McConnell is worse than the rest, I can't stand the guy even without the Hitler stuff you posted, but I think they all are ruthless and more interested in their power than anything else.
I had this discussion at a meeting last night. Across the political spectrum we agreed that you don't have to be a ruthless asshole to be in charge or to reach the top. Maybe that's just people I know.
The refusal to say "no" when compared to a man who helped put Hitler in more power but rather to say he'll do whatever he has too is what bothers me. Even if it's true a good person would be taken aback at the comparison and at the very least a good politician would have the sense to distance himself from it.
McConnell is neither.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
