Please, Wayne, the Republicans in Congress have made their agenda
perfectly clear. They'll go along with virtually nothing.

Like any politician they will do anything to get reelected. If their
constituency gets behind something, they'll get the message.
Unfortunately there has been no unifying leadership for a long time,
only increased partianship and divisiveness, with lots of blame to go
around.


What you are saying was pretty much the case a decade ago. Now, the
constituents of the right-wing Republicans in Congress only care about
themselves, not about the welfare and prosperity of the country, and the
teahadists they elected know this.

The United States has been sliding down the slope in a serious fashion
since Bush II took office. I'm not sure Obama or anyone else can stop
the slide. The only bright spot I see on the horizon is that the
Republicans are so bereft of quality candidates, they are increasingly
unlikely to regain the White House in 2012.
