GOP already backing away from campaign promises.....

[Napoleon]

The Republicans in the House and Bill Clinton as President disagreed but they were still able to get major things accomplished, both liberal and conservative. Obama lacks the ability to be a leader and these Tea Party tools have no idea what a statesman is supposed to do.

I'm more disappointed about Obama and the Democrats letting us down the past two years than some crazy Republicans backing away from the outrageous and over-the-top campaign fibs they told.

Phil, the Republicans could have done a lot better than six senate seats.

Px, take a note from Badger: when he goes extreme partisan hack, he at least makes it more amusing. 

Yeah, he is so extremely hackish that you don't even bother to answer.

I didn't see a question.

Obama's comment, especially as Mr. "Transcends Politics," was inappropriate and not a form of negotiation. But that's ok. That attitude helped the GOP pick up over sixty House seats and six Senate seats even as we were "on the verge of extinction." Thanks, Mr. President. Let's do it again some time.

Really? And silly me thought that unemployment was the main cause for Democratic losses.

Then again we shouldn't discount the massive effect of the Van Johnson controversy and the Sestak job offer.

The unemployed were probably some of the most Democratic voters in 2010.

You two don't have to bicker back and forth in every thread. It gets old.

Disagree! The PX-KP rows are what popcorn (or gin ) was invented for! Carry on, gladiators, as I sip wine from my luxery box seat!

If we got humor or substance rather than insults and anger, perhaps.
I like both individuals but maybe they need a restraining order haha.

px75 will make excuses for any Democrat and if you try to be an impartial liberal analyst you become a concern troll.

Phil, of course, is right that people don't (or at least didn't) know Boehner like they did Pelosi, and even if they hated him, he wasn't in the position of power that mattered the last Congress.

The idea that voters want "results" and don't care how they are achieved is laughably absurd.

Ha! You can't cite a single piece of evidence that backs up your claim besides "I've watching politics for a long time." Ok. That's going to be my excuse for backing up wild claims, too. You're taking a policy that you support but is unpopular here and saying that a totally independent issue would have made it popular. Ridiculous!

Well how about that: voters approved of Bush for "keeping America safe" even though he achieved(?) it through torture, illegal wiretapping and curtailing civil liberties.

Those are policy issues all on their own, not methods of implementing a policy.

Yeah, Republicans couldn't be bought off. They were already sold to insurance companies.
Anyway, if you bothered to read anything else besides RedState then you would know that the Louisiana and Nebraska provisions were actually sound policy decisions. The Nebraska provision was expanded to the entire country after all.[/quote]

Both parties accepted money from insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Big deal!
