| leatherhat said: These people have no interest in compromise. The republicans have already stated that their main goal is turn Obama into a lame duck Pres who doesn't get any more terms. And with their new seats and the power of the fillibuster they can stop any thing the dems try to do. And the dems are not going to play nice with people so openly hostile towards them. Its a bad situation. |
The same things were said about Clinton in 94. After a time, everyone realized they needed to play nice to get re-elected. The freshmen GOP will come in like barnstormers but they'll calm after a bit when they realize their next election date is just around the corner and nothing has been accomplished.
