The GOP aren't giving Obama a honeymoon, are they? how do you feel about that?

[book_worm]

usually a president gets a honeymoon from the oppositon party, but they have been on the attack from the beginning. How do you feel about it?
I don't necessarily feel it's bad. It just shows how out of touch they are.

[BlooInBloo]

1. Unsurprised.

[yourout]

7. Ditto.......I would have really been suprised if they had.

Unlike the Dems they have absolutly no compassion or willingness to compromise.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. They have nothing else to offer.

[BlueIdaho]

3. How do I feel about it?

I say take no prisoners - bury the fuckers.

[liberalmuse]

4. Pretty pissed off, but not surprised.

Republicans suck and I really do hate sharing the planet with them.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. The GOP literally has nothing left but to be contentious obstinate douches.

Until they get removed from what offices they have left.

They are like the political equivalent of freeper trolls at this point. Their only function is to make trouble.

[madeline_con]

6. May they have eight looong years of misery.

And then lose the 2016 election, too. Fuck 'em all.

[DontTreadOnMe]

8. You can't negotiate with traitors

I say steamroll over the GOP.

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. Well, what typically happens on a honeymoon? THAT is indeed what they are trying to do to him!

One of those seven words of George Carlin....

[Taverner]

10. Fuck the GOP - we don't need them

The sooner we learn that, the better

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

11. Sure they are.

Just like on a honeymoon, they are trying to fuck him a lot.

[rwheeler31]

12. These are the most ungracious people on the planet .

[MrModerate]

13. Here's the upside:

They are being douches in the most public of ways. By throwing bipartisanship back in Obama's face when the county is trying to deal with the biggest economic upset in living memory (just about) they're alienating more and more of the public. They are screwing themselves while they screw the country.

Obama has to keep pretending their input matters and they'll just continue to shrink like ice on a hot stove. And when the true assholes are all shipwrecked, only the right-of-center moderates will remain -- and with them, we can work.

Keep in mind the old adage: "when your enemy is committing suicide, don't try to talk him out of it."

With regard to the acual governing thing, the dems need to tell the 'Licans to take a hike. Nuclear option be damned: the 'Licans can't sustain a real (as opposed to threatened) filibuster, and we need to call their bluff. Over and over again. Until they learn that a majority is a majority.

14. Only Democrats give "honeymoons"

Republicans play to win.

And the way it's been going since November 4th, the Democrats seem to be trying very hard to self-destruct.

[ColbertWatcher]

15. Meh. n/t

[corruptmewithpower]

16. GOP. are they still around?

How about the greens, the libertarians, the communists, the aryans . . .

[Libertyfirst]

17. Fine by me. Obama and the American people need to learn as

quickly as possible what obstructionists the republicans are going to be in every way. Obama has also shown he has elbows so let the battle begin.

[Warpy]

18. Just great, actually

because I want everybody to see that not only did they cause this economic disaster, they are refusing to help fix it.

I want everybody to see them for what they are.

[Skittles]

19. they're behaving just as I expected

pro-repuke and anti-America

[jimshoes]

20. Never even thought for a second they would.

Rat bastards every one of em'. Time's coming when they are going to have to answer to a lot of angry, angry Americans.

[Triana]

21. since when have Republicans ever ceased to be royal assholes...

...for any reason, in any circumstance?

I rest my case.

[MrSlayer]

22. I don't really care.

Fuck the GOP. Seriously, fuck them. They are complete assholes, always have been, always will be. They aren't doing anything more than I expected. We need to ignore them and push through whatever we want.

[BanTheGOP]

23. I've said it over and over and over and over and over...

and over again. The republican party is the PROBLEM ITSELF, not just the assholes who MAKE up the party. If you use RICO statutes to make the party illegal, you get rid of the problem. Quid pro quo.
