Poll: Republicans Want Confrontation, Not Compromise
Republicans are more likely than Democrats to want confrontation with the opposite party.
[su_center_ad]
Pew Research: “A majority of Americans would like to see Barack Obama and Republican leaders work together over the coming year. But Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to favor a confrontational approach toward the political opposition, even if that results in less getting done.”
“Overall, 57% of the public says Republican leaders in Washington should try as best they can to work with Barack Obama to accomplish things, even if it means disappointing some groups of Republican supporters, while 40% say they should ‘stand up’ to Obama on issues that are important to Republican supporters, even if it means less gets done in Washington. And by about a two-to-one margin (62% to 30%) more say Obama should work with Republicans than say he should stand up to the GOP.”[su_csky_ad]

It all gets passed off as if the Republicans are strictly at fault, even though Obama is the one who says he will go it alone on the immigration issue.

Mitch McConnell says to hell with the USA, he and his fellow Republicans are going for all they can get.
FOR THEMSELVES.
sounds to me like it’s more the Republicans fault. You’d think they’d be barking about American Exceptionalism (even though they never have yet) – kinda as a pep talk by the new floor managers – but noooooooooooooooo;
“we’re going to spend time on strengthening the GOP by the control of the Senate , House of Representatives and our trusted buddies in the Supreme Court”

He said “if” the Speaker doesn’t move on the legislation that has already passed the Senate he will take action. He has also said on many occasions if they don’t want him to act on policies then “pass a bill”. Can’t argue with that. It’s the Republicans grinding things to a halt.

Republicans do not want to co-operate with Obama? Shocked, I tell you I am shocked!

Republicans idea of compromise is “do exactly what we say or we’ll hold our breath until we turn blue, shut down the government and default on the debt.”
As for the Republicans being in a bind if SCOTUS knocks down the subsidies for Obamacare for states that don’t have their own exchanges – I don’t buy it for a minute. The GOP won’t feel they’re under any pressure – they’ll LOVE IT. They’ll declare that Obamacare is dead and they’ll be singin’ and dancin’ in the rain.

Democrats are now totally and morally bankrupt. They are stupid and dumb without a moral compass or strategy…voting on the pipeline to “save” Landrieu, are they stupid added as well?
