The Dems don't need the Repubs anyway, I think the Dems are just paying lip service to bipartisanship, they don't really care one way or the other. The problem is that they cannot get all their own on the same page. If the Dems put together a good pan that actually works for most of America then they will be rewarded, if it ends up being a mess then they will loose seats and quite a few will become lobbiests.

"I agree with the "just fukem" tactic...they've shown that they don't care one bit about America or Americans, just about not letting Obama get anything done for their own selfish and power-hungry reasons..."

I agree too, however you could insert "Bush" for "Obama" and it would reflect a lot of Congress's attitude the last 2 years of his term. I remember Bush floating an idea about SS and the Dems ran howling all the way to the town hall meetings and didn't want to do anything because it would have given Bush a "win" and shown some bi partianship. It defintely works both ways in DC.
