Harry Reid threatens obstruction if Romney wins.

[Immanuel]

Reid never said he wouldn't work with Romney. Each one of the righties is just proudly parroting the lies about that, being that's what their masters commanded them to do. But then, if they could think independently, they'd be liberals.

Reid said he wouldn't work with a severly conservative agenda. He's open to compromise with a moderate agenda. Very unlike the Republicans in congress, who have sworn to never be open to compromise on anything. They've gotten thunderous applause from all the Republicans here for that.

So, Democrats are open to compromise, Republicans aren't, and yet every one of the righties here is screaming outrage only at the Democrats. Is there even a single Republican here who isn't a partisan hypocrite?

oh he said he WOULDN'T WORK with a severely conservative agenda...you all see the DIFFERENCE FOLKS...

man what a load of shit

What he really said is that he will do everything Romney asks, because Romney is no conservative and there is not going to be a damned bit of difference between Obama's presidency and Romney's. The American people of just plain screwed.

Yup, Steph, the Far Right has finally convinced the rest of the country just how much it hates everyone not like it. Letting the Senate stay dem is one result, and costing Romney the election may be the other.

You had your chance, you failed it, and now you get inherit the whirlwind.

You Tea Party doofi have demonstrated that you nearly wrecked the country, much less the party.

Watch how much power you folks after the election, regardless if Romney is elected or not.

Watch what happens during the lame duck Congress and watch just how impotent the far right has become.

"Mainstream Republicans" who kiss Obama's ass don't get to dictate what America needs, boy.

yeah yeah, your hardon for the Tea Party is already noted you good little Republican...YAWN

Immie

I will differ with you here. There will be a difference between a Romney Presidency and an Obama one.

My issue is with Congress more than who occupies the WH at least on the domestic front.

Obama simply does not deserve another term.

Granted, Obama does not deserve a second term, but where do we differ?

Do you really believe Romney is a conservative? Hell, do you believe he is a moderate!?

What, if anything, is going to change should Romney win?

You know I am not sure it is straight up conservatism(as it looks today) I even want. Speaking for myself I just want more moderates. More people who are not like the extremes in either party. Romney is not getting my vote but not because he is not conservative enough. I still think Obama should be fired. His performance did not earn him the trust of the people or a second term. I am definitely of the mindset of anyone but Obama. Who people choose for their "anyone" is up to them. I have chosen mine.

Sigh, that I know. That is why I am more a delusioned voter than one with lots of optimism for the near future.

How is this kind of thing ever going to end if both parties announce in advance they are going to obstruct?

When will we get the government of the people, by the people, and for the people we used to have, instead of the "new normal" of "every party for themselves"?

they probably should have thought of that when they said "i hope he fails" and obstructed everything for four years...to the point where they forced our credit rating down.

why does the right get bi-partisan the minute they think they're going to be in power?

i know...i know...bi-partisan means we do what the right wants. i heard that.

Both parties were responsible for the credit downgrade because of their borrow & spend habits. It was because of wasteful spending on unfunded wars, bailouts, windmills, oil subsides, earmarks & pork, pork, pork.

Unless we get a viable third party (and soon!), both sides are going to have to work together and fix this mess.

no. both parties were not.

raising the debt ceiling is a pro forma action.

it should never have been held hostage.

and it was the lack of cooperation that caused our credit rating to be downgraded.

there was nothing in the least the responsibility of BOTH parties.

In fact, i'll remind you that boehner thought they'd made a deal with the whitehouse. then he went back to his wackos' who wouldn't sign on the dotted line...

 

[mamooth]

Democrats are going to start attacking the office of the President and Republicans are going to start defending it.

Don't be absurd. The Republicans will still be totally deranged with Obama-hatred, and they'll still be opposing everything Obama proposes, even if it's the same thing the Republicans proposed last year.

And all of the "moderates" on this thread will be cheering for the Republicans in the House when they act like that, and spitting hate at Obama for not doing exactly what the no-compromise House demands of him.

What, you actually think we haven't seen the "extremist Republicans pretending to be moderates" act a thousand times before?

Nothing obstructed Obama from the time he took office until after the 2010 elections when Dems were destroyed for giving him what he wanted during the previous two years.

Nothing obstructed Obama from the time he took office until after the 2010 elections when Dems were destroyed for giving him what he wanted during the previous two years.

Obama had a senate that could override a Republican filibuster for one month, the point when Ted Kennedy became too sick to vote. He never had a House that could beat a combination of Republicans and conservadems.

So, aside from the reality of Congress, nothing obstructed him at all.

 

[daveman]

So once again, this time it is about Reid, what say you? Was he in the wrong or not? Is he making government better or worse with this attitude?

Better, of course. He's representing his constituents and the majority of Americans, who by large majorities disagree with the extremist Republican policies of Mitt Romney.

Spoken like a true Obamabot.

 

[daveman]

I am sorry Republicans that believe the horse shit they spew are almost certifiable

Perhaps they should be rounded up and put in camps..."for their own protection".

That's one of the left's go-to solutions for political dissent.

Why do you bother lying when the reality is right there?

"Mitt Romney's fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his 'severely conservative' agenda is laughable," Mr. Reid said in a statement on Friday, trying to puncture Mr. Romney's closing election argument that he'll be able to deliver on the bipartisanship President Obama promised in 2008 but has struggled to live up to.​

 

[Stephanie]

lol,

Better, of course. He's representing his constituents and the majority of Americans, who by large majorities disagree with the extremist Republican policies of Mitt Romney.

that's why the people put the Republicans in the house in 2010, because they disagreed with them and wanted to let Obama continue to run over us against our will like they did with ObamaCare..So the Republicans were doing the what their constituents put them in for...too bad for Obama and his comrades in arms they didn't get to pass any more shit on us..waaa

And here we go again with the word "extreme"..Harry Reid says it and it is parroted back..

damn sheep

 

[Luddly Neddite]

The Senate is going GOP

Akin and Mourdoch have ensured that this will not happen.

I think I read that Mourdoch is out.

And, Akin - crap, that asshole should be thrown off the planet.

... And, I can't imagine the Ds doing the obstructing the R has done.

Well, you have just proven you are incapable of understanding plain English, not that I doubted it before.

Here let me point out something...

What, if anything, is going to change should Romney win?

That means Obama would be out on his ass where he belongs.

Were you out smoking dope when you should have been in your English class?

Obviously, if Romney wins, Obama won't be proposing any more of his socialism. Romney will be doing that for him.

Oh, you're delusional. You should have stated that up front. Being liberal, I'm used to hanging around sane people, so I didn't catch that.
