Blind partisan BULLSHIT! Republicans have openly said their only goal is to defeat Obama. And the worst things get for the American people, the better for their chances. The right are ******* Tearrorists who are willing to destroy our democratic process and spit in the face of the will of the American people. Can you name another President who hasn't been able to have all his appointments confirmed 3 years into his administration???
The right has thrown a childish tantrum ever since Obama was elected. It will be THEIR way, or NO WAY.
We know during the health care debate:
At the beginning of this process we (Republicans) made a strategic decision: unlike, say, Democrats in 2001 when President Bush proposed his first tax cut, we would make no deal with the administration. No negotiations, no compromise, nothing. We were going for all the marbles. This would be Obama’s Waterloo – just as healthcare was Clinton’s in 1994.

Texas Republican Congressman Pete Sessions compares GOP strategy to Taliban insurgency
"Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban, and that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that's not what we're saying. I'm saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with."
