The point was that because there is a Republican House, Obama has to deal with it; he doesn't have carte blanche to do whatever he wants and no amount of Internet screeching will give it to him. Whether the Republicans deserve a House majority is a separate issue; but that it exists is indisputable.

Yes... but considering their 'negotiation' strategy is to ignore what happened in 2012, think 2010 was the jumping off point. It's hard to negotiate with someone when they say "so, unless we get EVERYTHING we want, and at the same time undermine something of yours and oh, you get nothing in return... we're burning the place down"...

'It's hard' is not an excuse to not attempt to govern the country. Let's keep in mind that 2012 was a 'status quo election' that did not shift in any significant way the balance of power elected after 2010.

Your point failed and were shut down, no need to continue rambling, child. That is unless you want to get further read for nonsense, lol.

Wow

Of course they do not care. The fact that photo voter ID is settled law hasn't prevented the screeching.

hey you know what else is settled law

Nothing's really settled until either its proponents or its critics stop being elected to office.

The Democrats are being blocked from governing the country by people who don't believe in a positive role for government, Vosem. The Republicans are doing this on purpose. There is no negotiation in good faith with them.

But the alternative (for the Democrats) seems to be waiting until Republicans come around to the Democrats' point-of-view, which isn't a very...realistic...strategy. It basically consists of agreeing with the more extreme parts of the Tea Party that, on the whole, they would like for the government shutdown to last as long as possible.
