Well, to start with the Democrats have super-majorities in the Senate and the House, as well as the Presidency, and the media. If they can't accomplish anything, then it is because of their own incompetence and ineptitude (no shortage of either).

Second, maybe if the Obama & the Demos had an agenda worth supporting they'd get more Republicans behind them. As it is, their agenda is so radical and out of touch that only the far left fringe supports it, and even that support is factionalized and combative. I'd say that makes the Republican Party of "No" the side of the people and the side of the sensible.

And lastly, Gridlock is the best thing that ever happens in our political system. I applaud any group that kneecaps government. I wish the Democrats had been more willing to play that role with Bush2. The country was served well with opposition in the Congress to the Presidents under Reagan, Bush1, and Clinton. It is Bush2 and BO have/had congress in their pockets - to the detriment of the nation. The best thing that could happen for the U.S. is for both the House and Senate to go to the GOP and freeze up the government like an IBM 486 trying to run Crysis2.

Obstructionism. More = better as far as government goes.

This also applies.

Unfortunately they weren't the party of No when Bush started the socialist ball rolling with Medicare Part D, TARP, etc.

Sadly - neither Bush1 nor Bush2 were fiscal conservatives or constitutional constructionists. They belong firmly in a camp of Republicans called "Blue Bloods" or "RINOs" (Republican In Name Only). The Bushes were old school GOP members, and they all too often were for big government solutions. TARP, MedicareD, NCLB, Farm Subsidies, Education Bill, SCHIP... The list of big government spending programs that Bush2 pushed was as massive as even the most liberal Democrat spendthrift.

This is why Bush2 accomplished so many things in his Presidency (in a legislative sense). He was willing to sell the farm in order to get a coalition. So if he needed Democrat votes he'd just offer them anythign they wanted and the GOP just went along with it. Sigh. This country needs a good strong fiscal conservative to take the White House, Congress, and Senate and roll back government in a big way. It isn't 'business' that is killing our economy. It's government spending.

I didn't know John Boehner could sing so well!

Yes We Can doesn't seem to be working either.

Oh how clever....
