David Brooks shows what a waste of perfectly good paper he is:
The new Republican establishment is different from the old one. It is more conservative. It’s shaped more by the ideas of The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page and the American Enterprise Institute than it is by the mores of the country club. But, at least judging by the postelection comments coming from all corners, it does believe in politics, in legislating, in compromise.
Yes, they have proved that willingness over the last 6 years. ROFLMAO you pinhead.
What a steaming pile of dross.
Another vapid talking head chimes in Charles Krauthammer
The 2014 election has given the GOP the rare opportunity to retroactively redeem its brand. The conventional perception, incessantly repeated by Democrats and the media, is that Washington dysfunction is the work of the Party of No. Expose the real agent of do-nothing. Show that, when Harry Reid can no longer consign House-passed legislation to oblivion, Congress can actually work.
Yes, never mind the complete and utter obstruction of the past 6 years as they threw temper tantrum after temper tantrum, forget it I tell you. They can now be responsible people, but only after cancelling what managed to get through their obstruction.
We are responsible and bipartisan [but only when we are in power], what utter drivel.
This following article had me in stitches laughing at the never ending stream of lies.
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell
Looking ahead to the next Congress, we will honor the voters’ trust by focusing, first, on jobs and the economy. Among other things, that means a renewed effort to debate and vote on the many bills that passed the Republican-led House in recent years with bipartisan support, but were never even brought to a vote by the Democratic Senate majority. It also means renewing our commitment to repeal ObamaCare, which is hurting the job market along with Americans’ health care.
For years, the House did its job and produced a steady stream of bills that would remove barriers to job creation and lower energy costs for families. Many passed with bipartisan support—only to gather dust in a Democratic-controlled Senate that kept them from ever reaching the president’s desk. Senate Republicans also offered legislation that was denied consideration despite bipartisan support and benefits for American families and jobs.
Oh the irony, no wait, what utter bullshit. So I assume Mitch will only pass bills in the Senate when he has 60 votes? I think that would be a fair request.
Oh I believe them, really I do.
So every time they lose we must pardon their extremism and give them power so that suddenly they will become responsible and do what is right for America.
Yes, and I was born yesterday.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.
All they are thinking about is 2016.
Same as they were in 2008 when the declared their immediate intransigence and their sole objective of bringing the President down.
