If the country wants Republicans then act like a Republican..Talk about clueless...They did not get it then and they don't get it now. The country wants them to do what they campaign on doing. So Simple but yet so very hard for them to understand..They said they would raise taxes on the wealthy, those earning more than $250,000. a year. Did it happen? They said they would get us out of Iraq sooner rather than later. Are we out of Iraq? There is actually a fairly long list of Promises and yet Goldman Sachs passes out the largest bonuses in their history..Obama requested the largest Defense Budget in our History while the people go without jobs or health care, Completely tone deaf.

1. If they do what the people want, even if they can't get the votes, they will win in the long run /nt

2. They understand but many are corrupt: They want us to BELIEVE they are serving
us (the average American Wage Slave) while they continue to pass legislation that benefits Corporations FIRST. When they get caught at their little "SHELL GAME" the corporate democrats claim that the country is becoming more "conservative" = corporate enabling.

It's all one big scam and WE, THE PEOPLE, are the mark.

3. I saw Frank Luntz on Faux of all places this
morning with a group of voters and that was exactly what they said. They blamed Obama for being naive enough to be nice to Republicans thinking he would get bi-partisan support. Instead setting down ground rules on what he wanted in a health-care bill he delegated it to the Congress and Pelosi and Reid made a total mess out of it that nobody could possibly understand or support. Why does it take 2000 pages to stop insurance companies from dropping people with an illness or denying them because of a preexisting illness? The Congress just made mess out of the thing, I mean you had the Louisiana purchase then the bribes to Nelson. That isn't change it's the same way things were done when Clinton or GWB were in office, people are just sick of the bull shit. Same goes for the Stimulus Bill it was loaded down with hundreds of pork projects that had nothing to do with stimulating anything but some Congressman's career.
