McConnell is a corporate whore but at least he's sane enough to realize that if he crashed and burned down the economy, he'd kill the corporations he services.
McConnell vs. Rand Paul is like the difference between Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Saddam was an evil man but he wouldn't take any joy in destroying the earth because he would only destroy his little dictatorship in the process. Someone like Bin Laden will happily trigger Armageddon because then he gets to go to Paradise.
This is what makes religious fanaticism much more dangerous than political fanaticism.
