Mitch gets fact-checked

FactCheck.org looks into some statements that Mitch McConnell made on Face the Nation this weekend:

Mitch McConnell equated letting the Bush tax cuts expire for upper-income earners with raising "taxes on small businesses." But that’s misleading.

...McConnell also claimed, wrongly, that the "vast majority of Americans feel very, very uncomfortable" with the new health care law. According to Pollster.com’s weighted average of polls, 49.4 percent of those surveyed oppose the law while 42.1 percent favor it. The Real Clear Politics average produced a slightly larger split with 51.3 percent opposing the law and 40.1 percent favoring it. But 49 percent isn’t a majority at all, and 51 percent barely is, though certainly isn’t "vast."

McConnell also continued to incorrectly cast the health care law as a government takeover.
