"OK. WE hold the cards in this ONE house of congress... this is our chance to get some shit done... we better try to reach out and work WITH the other side, or we'll NEVER ram our shit through the Senate"? Or do they just say, "FUCK IT, we're going for broke, and in 2012 we can just say that the Senate wouldn't help us and that's why we all failed"?

Either way, I don't like it. A TOAST... to Alan Grayson (and any other Dem that stood up for us and got defeated tonight). We will miss you all, and we'll see you in 2012!!!

2. No fucking chance in hell. They're going to tie shit up for 2 years.
It may or may not work for these nutbags.

11. They are the worst enemy of what this country is SUPPOSED to be. I do not have
high hopes of the media being any more critical of them than they have been for the past 10 years...

It is like screaming into an empty room....no one hears us.

6. No. Not one chance. They don't want to work with anyone to help people.
But a crazy idea.

8. The big problem is that they now have the power to
subpoena whomever they want. They'll clog things up with ridiculous stuff and less than nothing will get done.

10. NOPE!
their sole purpose is to destroy President Obama and win the White House in 2012. If it means putting the country through hell so be it.

12. It is the Million Dollar question.
Almost every pollster and pundit, even the retag ones, agree that the public doesn't like the rethugs but are more upset with Dems. I'll be interested to hear what Cantor and Co say in the next few days.

I think they will work with Obama on a few things but still try hard to scuttle him for '12.
