Each more mindful of the other's strategic vision, Reid and Obama made a mutual commitment to legislative stubbornness. A week after the meeting, Reid threatened to gut the filibuster if Republicans didn't let through a slate of executive nominees. Republicans caved. Looking forward, the two vowed to steadfastly oppose any effort to tinker with the president's health care law as part of a continuing resolution to keep the government running. And when it came time to raise the debt ceiling weeks later, they would refuse to negotiate altogether.
Through the first government shutdown in 17 years and a near-breach of the nation's debt limit, they followed this playbook until it ultimately resulted in a Republican collapse.
"We just both came to the conclusion that the time had ended to be taken in by these crazy people," Reid said. "The president said, 'I'm not going to negotiate.' I said, 'I'm not going to negotiate.' And we didn't."
What a tough son of a bitch that Harry Reid is. President Obama learned well from Reid. He learned to keep Joe Biden away from the negotiating team. Well done Harry Reid!

That's the point. All these jerks that have spent their entire lives "looking out for us" have only become rich - doesn't matter what the hell "party" they are in.
THEY get rich and you - don't. Get it?
How long before everyone who disagrees with Obama is considered "mentally ill" and can no longer possess a firearm?

The difference being the rich Democrats rob from the rich (Republicans) and give it to the poor (Democrats).
The difference being the rich Democrats in power give away free-stuff to (ie SS, food stamps, education, welfare, student loans, medicare, Obamacare, headstart, etc) while the rich Republicans give to the rich Republicans (ie the 1%)

Then as a good democrat you should start demanding they be treated like terrorists. Rounded up and dealt with. All those millions of Americans. Start the mass arrests already. Divided we fall, and it can't happen fast enough.
