Pliny Posted September 7, 2010 Report Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Obama has wanted to portray himself as the great "uniter", a non-partisan player. How true is that? Every time the Republican party has offered input to the various bills that have been rammed through, and the Democrats don't need the Republicans at all if they can get their fellow representatives to toe the party line, their offerings have been refused. The Obama/Pelosi/Reid machine has, rather than take any input from the Republicans, haggled, bought and threatened their fellow Democrats to vote with the party. So, who is the party of "No" really? The label has been assigned pejoratively to the GOP to foster the perception as a non-progressive, negative ninnie party that offers nothing but whining. They refuse to negotiate with Republicans or legitimately consider their input and won't accept a contrary view from within their ranks. It is a long held maxim that of which you accuse others of you yourself are guilty. It holds true under this scenario. The Democrats are actually the party of "No". It's our way or the highway! Hopefully the Republicans will continue to say no to Obama, his policies and objectives have not been in the majority public interest socially and economically has proven, in the least, ineffectual.

What a pity they hadn't been the part of "No" when they were in control. Quote

punked Posted September 7, 2010 Report Posted September 7, 2010 Remind me how many of Obama's appointments have made it through compared to other congresses? Let me help you out, Obama is at 45% no other president ever was below 85%. Let's be real here Republicans are crazy history is showing that. Quote
Pliny Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Posted September 9, 2010 What a pity they hadn't been the part of "No" when they were in control. I agree. On a lot of things they should have said no.Too many "progressive" republicans in the ranks I guess. Quote I want to be in the class that ensures the classless society remains classless.

I think it has something to do with an aversion to socialism in America. Quote I want to be in the class that ensures the classless society remains classless.
