The worst part is that this is a real opportunity for Congress to kill off some sacred cows giving their ‘contributors’ the perfect excuse. ’Gosh, I wanted to save your program/subsidy/tax break, but, you know, the sequester.-They could actually use the situation to set priorities.-Of course, they would have to work for the good of the country and cooperate with each other.
Very good point Braindead. However, I fear the GOP only hears people like the very angry skipcarlsen when considering any bipartisan actions and the democrats under Pelosi and Reid have engaged in their own overly partisan behaviors that have hardened GOP positions. Mr. Reid had a chance to change the rules of filibuster and didn’t. Both parties have worked hard over several decades to bring us to the pit of despair.Mr. Arial’s cartoon from this morning reflected the situation well. Good thoughts Braindead, I hope the parties start working together soon.Respectfully,C.
Normally I ignore buffoons like onguard but want to respond that gridlock is DIVIDING America in the worst way.
Destroying government and reforming it are completely different things. Onguard’s heroes in the GOP are unpatriotic scoundrels whose political purity is more important than the nation as a whole. They choose to destroy and deflate rather than build and reform because THEY ARE INCOMPETENT and don’t have the ability—politically or professionally—to do anything other than destroy. That’s pathetic and unacceptable for anyone who’d be audacious enough to call themself a true American.
Some people have no idea as to the meaning of words.I mean, calling the worlds most Conservative leader [POTUS] even a little bit leftish is so absurd.
