- We need to remove these obstructionist repigletards so the Democratic Party can correct the damage caused by the Bush "Administration."

Agreed! When they were Borrowing and Spending us into this mess they never wanted to debate or discuss ANYTHING. When they were sitting on their hands while the De-Regulations THEY insisted on pushed us off the edge we heard NOTHING from them. The Republican Party doesn''t exist anymore... what we have now is the Southern Obstructionist Party and it''s no better now than it ever was!! - Reply to this comment
- we were having a discussion...and exchange of ideas...take your little insults and name-calling elsewhere, child!

He''s right! NO ONE on here has seen you post ANYTHING but the standard "Party" line. A NEW or DIFFERENT idea? NOT ONCE... NEVER! - Reply to this comment

Ummm, that would be 2 ''WHOLE'' years, genius. And when Republicans stonewall and veto simply for the sake of ideology, it seems a bit insincere to blame it on the Dems. - Reply to this comment

Dems had a slim majority in the House and no majority in the Senate. Republicans went into total obstruction mode in 2006 with a record number of philibusters and Presidential Vetoes.
Can you point to a few Democratic initiatives that actually passed that support your ridiculous assertion?- Reply to this comment
- DaVicar and a few neonuts are the only one''s who swallow that Dems took control in 2006. A two vote majority is not "control". And the GOP who were so quick to throw $700 billion dollars away on Wall St. want to stymie something that could well help working Americans.

The heavy damage to the US by the GOP was done between 2000 and 2006. Then since, Repugs have only wanted to obstruct the move forward. And we see how well that worked for them in the last election cycle ------------ Posted by Terrapin78
= = = = = = Since 2006???
I guess I have to remind you, that in November of 2006 (when the Democrats took over the House and Senate) the DOW was $12,400...
what is it today, after two hole years of Democrat ''''smarts''''???

Was hardly a majority, and there is still the problem of a republican as president. Their majority was not veto proof, so compromise was necessary to get anything done. Plus, that was only from 06-08, before that, republicans had the majority, and did not need to compromise much to get anything done with Bush in office. - Reply to this comment
Republicans are for conservative values, perhaps with a differant generation of leaders that preferred party will get in shape. No matter what generatioin there is of a liberal brand, it is still the same shi-.

Let''''s see.... real conservative values.... hmmm.
- starting a war based on lies, killing thousands.
- party leaders that protect child molesters in their legislative ranks and closeted *** that champion anti gay discrimination.
- Only real economic strategy of the past 16 years.. privatize social security and tax cuts for the rich. that worked really well didn''''t it?
- protecting industry who pollutes our land, and air. HUGE tax giveaways for big oil at the same time they tell average americans they can''''t afford a better health care system.
We''''ve seen REAL conservatism in the GOP and it''''s failed miserably. It needs to go away forever.

There will be no GOP left after Palin is the top dog (biitch).
Conservatism is a deadend. - Reply to this comment
- This is an easy no brainer strategy for the GOP. They don''t care about the average american anyway, only the rich Wallstreet Executives who''ve already stolen millions of the taxpayers money already.
Just stall on any real stimulus that''ll help average americans. Let the economy go into Depression and then blame Obama. It''s all the GOP has left of their failed ideology. - Reply to this comment
- I have to echo the thoughts of a previous post. These republicans shoot themselves in the foot continually. First they claim they are only looking out for the citizen. Then the memo comes out with how lets give it to the union now for hurting us in the election. To me when you purposely try to harm americans using your public office. You should be given the boot immediately. Make all the noise you want. After the 20th this will be like the Reagan years. He will get what he wants. When he wants. The old GOP is dead. This is about us now. America as a whole.

- Well since WALL Street already got THEIR bailout and didn''t even have to give up their multi-million dollar bonuses, why the heck should the Republicans give a hoot about MAIN Street?

- ---"In yesterday''s statement, McConnell suggested finding "the right mix of tax relief and other measures," signaling his hope for a larger portion of the bill going toward tax cuts than the current projections suggest."---
And this REALLY doesn''t help them - apparently tax cuts aren''t going to do much to stimulate the economy because incomes (of individuals and corporations) are collectively down. What''s worse is that apparently tax cuts are hard to repeal in the future which means their idea doesn''t help at all right now and is apparently going to cause greater problems in the future with little net gain except for I guess themselves and their like corrupt self-dealing Halliburton cronies and their ilk?
Wow, that''s really not good to just make people suffer while they hold out for tax cuts for like Cheney or whoever . . . - Reply to this comment
- "Party First" is the motto of the current GOP leadership, and Americans are tired of it. The more obstructionist they are, the more marginalized they will become. Boehner is a horrible "leader". It is time for new and more constructive blood in the House GOP leadership.
