Maybe not so much this time. Republicans don’t seem to have making Obama a one term (or the second term equivalent) as their top priority.

It also seems like they understand that people, i.e. voters, are catching on to how destructive the obstructionist filibusters are.
-
But the evangelist/social conservatives have not caught on that the wealthy Repubs don’t give a whit about them, they just want to safeguard and accumulate their wealth.

Sadly, there are many who consider a president “dead” after the first two years of his second term.

Politics as usual. 50.4% of Americans demanded it.

Perhaps not, but now they have to make the Dems look bad for the next election. It will never end until moderate Republicans take their party back.

I want moderate republicans back.
I used to be a moderate republican until the far right “Christian” extremists took over.
I’m a Christian, but The extreme opinions are not all that Christian. In fact anti-jesus actions, who threw out the money changers, feed the hungry, healed the sick, visited the prisoners, helped people freely and gave them a model and a vision of what to do, how to act.
I found that the message of the democrats was much closer to what Jesus said and did.

Will the right show that they realize the American people have spoken and agree to work seriously to solve the budget problems? From their past history, I doubt it.

They will damn President Obama for entitlements, then in the same breath, damn him for making some cuts to entitlements. Even though those entitlements would have been gutted by the GOP wreaking crew!

I don’t want religion in my government, no matter HOW “compassionate”. Most of the world doesn’t believe in Jesus, and they’re doing just fine.

@Ms. Ima
50.4% of Americans that live in the right places that is. And the Republicans knew where those places were just as the Democrats did. So no excuses!
Further, it certainly does not bode well for the Republicans that the demographics of those voting Democrat are increasing (women & minorities) while the demographics of the Republicans (especially the very conservative ones) are decreasing.
I know you are incensed about that, but that IS the way it is going to be, whether you (and some others) here like it or not!

White male? Really. Let me check my skin color. Oh s*it it’s not white at all. How about Democraps are for white college educated pretentious do*chebags who seem to think they know whats best for the minority, pander for our votes, and believe we must be racist against our own kind for voting Republican. Like this Rob Roger guy. Of course he IS a white male. with glasses, who somehow thinks minorities are all sheep.

@Wabbit
You want Moderate Republicans back? Really? Yet according to Johnathan Rach of the “National Journal” those same extreme Republicans left the party because they were disenfranchised by RINO’s within the party. So which is it? Or are you not going to believe him because you somehow made up your mind about the subject, regardless of the facts?

According to a just released Pew poll, 51% of Americans believe we WILL go over the fiscal cliff and they blame the Republicans for it.
