It is abundantly clear that the Republican leaders are going to do everything to prevent Obama and the Dems from doing anything constructive.

Last week, we witnessed how the Republicans will help serve this country in the worst crisis since the Great Depression.

By standing together in opposition to the stimulus package, they showed the world that they haven't at all joined the momentum of the new administration, rather they are still playing politics and are focused on the 2010 elections. Their objections to the stimulus have nothing to do with trying to solve this crisis.

I was always struck during the Bush Error (otherwise known as Era), that the axis of evil title was slapped onto any entity not aligned with their inane response to any issue they faced. Whether it was Iraq or Hurricane Katrina, time and time again we were expected to take their word through blind faith and or outright deceit.

6. The trouble with this is, that even with the White House in Democratic control,

as well as both houses of Congress, the Republicans can and will probably STILL thwart the Democrats at every turn, simply because the Democrats in Congress do not have one ball among them. They even lose battles that they win. They don't stand up for themselves (or us), seemingly EVER. I think if I ever saw the Democrats act like the majority they are and actually throw down and shove some legislation right up the Republicans' asses and put the fear into them, I'd probably pass out from shock.
