gwennie, the dems won the presidency and increased their majority in the Senate and their minority in the house. You better understand the American people are listening and choosing. We GOP have to do better on these issues.
From what I heard on the floor of the House these last two days the far right are digging in their heals. If you have optimism for a more moderate republican House your hopes are about to be dashed. Or should I say run over by a truck, and then backed over.
Sorry man, just the way I see it. First they are going to sink the rest of the Sandy funding and then flat refuse to given an inch or the rest of the fiscal cliff negotiations. I actually very, very much hope I am wrong but just calling them as I see them as it stands right now. Someone had better get in there and show some leadership which means a steel spine.
The dems/liberals are digging in their heels as well.....why is this completely ignored by the libs? Both sides suck right now when it comes to negotiating and doing what's right. The far left and the far right of both parties are all about power grabs, refuse to compromise, and come out swinging whenever the opportunity presents itself.....and then they go public and point the finger at someone else as to why things aren't getting done. It's all bullshit. The two party system has become so thoroughly corrupt there is no hope for either one of them to do the right thing, though the liberals do a better job of presenting their rhetoric and keeping their party (for the most part) in liine.....the repubs are doing a terrible job of both right now. If repubs want to have any hope of regaining control, they had damn well better figure out how to market their brand to elect them into office....because right now both parties have become dog and pony shows. The liberals and conservatives need to get off their high horses and start acting like adults again.
