and I am surprised you continue to ignore the fact that Democrats do the same thing. I showed one link where the Senate did this year. Yes, there is a lot of web pages stating the Republicans won't compromise. There are also pages were it shows the Dems didn't compromise. Bet if you looked at it it all depends on what party ihas the Office of the President and what Party controls Congress. That is the joy of the internet.
Guess we need to get one party in control of both houses and the office of the Pres. and it won't make you happy when it happens.:lol:
And again, this is the constant Republican reaction when Republican's are clearly at fault: it's not just us! BOTH sides do it!!
And it still doesn't fly. Republicans over the last four years have been far and away the most contentious and obstructive group of politicians in modern American history -- if not in all of American history. It is plain to see when you look at the record-shattering number of filibusters they've lodged. This is a group that has repeatedly voted against measures that they themselves introduced and/or supported for no other reason than that President Obama approved of them. This is a group that, for the first time in our history, took the country to the brink of default, resulting in our first ever credit downgrade. This is the party whose Senate leader said, at the height of the debt ceiling crisis, that his number one priority was what? To improve the economy? To create jobs? To reduce spending even? No. His number one priority was to beat Obama in 2012.
You would have to be insanely partisan not to see this.
