   Yup, that’s the Rethuglican way…
   “Compromise means you HAVE to do it OUR way, or we WILL block you from doing ANYTHING, COUNTRY BE DAMNED!”
   “We WILL trash the economy, and stop ANY economic recovery, just to make YOU look bad!”
   That was EXACTLY what Mitch McConnell, and the boner tried to do for the last 4 years, but the economy is improving in spite of congress, NOT because of congress!

   Boehner doesn’t say reach across, just “do it my way, period”.

   Any lawmaker that signed the Grover Norquist pledge should be dismissed and prosecuted for treason. The pledge is the opposite of their oath of office.

   Actually, that’s Obama who holds such a notion.

   Or have you not noticed how insulting and hypocritical he and his supporters have been over the last few years?

   obama won. the gop are losers once again. they put up candidates who were crap, and many of them lost. scott brown didn’t even hold a town hall. murdock saying things about rape and god’s will. akin saying stuff about rape, special powers, etc..and, gop presidential candidates were crap. newt’s moon base, google santorum’s napkins, dingbat bachman’s conspiracies, cain’s 999, perry’s doesn’t like stuff, boring pawlenty, reluctant huntsman, ron paul. but, mitt was the biggest.

   Responding in kind to the Republicans isn’t insulting. Projecting again!

   I think it is fair to say that both sides should be reaching across the isle, but the losing side should be reaching further. After all, the American people have spoken. The losers don’t have a mandate!

   Carlson nailed it. No matter what the people say, the Republicans just don’t listen.

   Serious question for Republicans:
   -
   Do you think we will again have a situation where a group of Republican senators propose something, president Obama declares his support, and then Republicans declare they will filibuster the proposal? (When this happened, all senators making the proposal joined the filibuster.)
   -
   And, if that happens, is that what you want from your party?

    The Republicans were elected to keep the socialists in check.

    I wondered when the Obama types were going to start with the re-education camps…

    As Rachel Maddow pointed out earlier this year in times like these we can get one party that becomes reactionary and hard line and obstructive. I would say that is what the Plutocrats want.

    @Darren Blair

    Then that explains why before every negotiation Pres. Obama would give them over 75% of what they want first then negotiate so that the Republicans get only 95% of what they want. Oh yeah. But you are free to show where I am wrong on that.
