Hopefully, rebuild America...A few things the republicans can do. None of them are slashing as that isn't a plan.
-School choice and the removal of common core
-Infrastructure! tons of bridges need to be rebuilt
-Bring back manufacturing and industry.
-Invest in science outside of global warming/green. Nasa needs a new mission and restructured to work.
-Maybe a new healthcare system that works better?

That sounds like a good direction, but you know there are members on the far right who will not allow several of those to go forward. I am talking about building bridges and science, specifically.

the republicans who now control both houses of congress are not far right, the far right is a tiny minority and is just as bad as the far left.

Your problem is that your president is far left so you must characterize anyone who differs with him as far right.

Do you really think the Mia Love and Tim Scott are far right?

Tim Scott receives a F grade from the NAACP, if that means anything other then thinking even better of him.

As long as you have Teddy, the Canadian, pushing for another government shutdown....you have the far right on your doorstep.

We have to remember why the GOP was given control of congress last tuesday. It was to stop obama's version of socialism, not to cave in to him.

The people want border security, sane foreign policy, sane fiscal policy, a workable immigration law, enforcement of laws equally, the will of the people to decide social issues, and a government that gets things done.

I hope they repeal EVERY Eo that Obama has put in place and stop that little thug President from doing anything until he's out of office

Throw up lots of bill at him so he can VETO them and show the people just WHAT PARTY (Democrat party) is the real party of obstructionist, game players with your lives and filled with LIARS.

total horseshit. How exactly do you think that one senator can shut down the government? The previous shutdown was done by obama, not congress, not 4 or 5 teaparty members, Obama did it. Obama shut down national monuments. Obama put government employees on furlough,

damn, man, get over the lying talking points and try the truth, it might set you free.

poor unhappy, frustrated partisan...

The Republican party has a big advantage. The democrats have driven the approval ratings into the mud the only way is up. The ONE thing that the Republicans need do is raise Congress' approval rating. If they can do that then they are a lock for many years, if they don't then they deserve to be beaten as badly were the democrats. So look for no cooporation on anything from the democrats. Hopefully there numbers are too little to make a difference.

If the Republicans passed zero bills but restored confidence in our government that would be a huge accomplishment.

quite amusing to watch them lashing out in all directions in defense of their failed messiah.

and a very good useful tool for the Democrat party. spews the party talking points even if they are lies with no shame whatsoever

they've used up attacking the Koch brothers now it's back to Ted Cruz. are they just so PREDICTIABLE.

They will have to get past their own party in-fighting to "do" anything.

It's been really easy for them the last few years...doing nothing beyond throwing spitballs at the smart kids. Well, now they're at the front of the classroom. Let's see how the Boehner and Yurtle "lead". (with the Teabaggers still throwing spitballs)

not a gay thread, wytchey. Go away, you are even more ignorant on this topic than on gay issues.

Once the 300 bills that Reid has been sitting on come to votes and get passed, then the burden will be on obozo. He can sign or veto. If he vetoes, the country will see which party is the real party of NO. If he signs, the country will see which ideas work. Obozo can't win. He might as well schedule tee times for every day from now until 2017.

Its over, the great obama socialist progressive experiment has been declared a massive failure, the country is moving on.

^ that

They are in a "put-up or shut-up" moment right now. If they continue w/ the same eXtremely partisan, assholery for the next two years, like they did for the last 6 yrs , they will become a permanent minority party in '16.

Yup, Teddy and his Baggers see a big chance to:

-Impeach Obama
-Shut Down the Government AGAIN
-Whine and Cry about the ACA
-Basically make life miserable for Boehner and McConnell

I doubt they will be able to control themselves, especially since they are now joined with so many GOP criminals.

Seriously Fishy, use your interwebs to find some lesbian porn and end this obsession. I can discuss other topics just fine...you, obviously can't if I'm discussing them too. Which one of us has the problem I wonder?

The President doesn't have to worry about being re-elected. He can veto and EO to his hearts content, just like Bush did...especially when it will be bills not supported by the American people (like repealing the Affordable Care Act)
