I'd love for him to do a frig'n call out on congress and appeal directly to the people.
As would I but that's not going to happen, that's not in his character.

I'll cut through the bullshit even further and make it even simpler:
Had the republicans put their country before their party they would be a viable option. They didn't and the people rejected them.
Put that koolaid down.The only reason why they didn't lose congress is they rigged the districts to favor their candidates. As it was they barely squeeked by in many of those races.

Both fail miserably. It's just that the reps are even more clueless. The reps would have done better if they dropped their version of social engineering, as two lost senate seats demonstrate. Yours was the lesser of two evils, so the dems can claim that.
And the Democrats did not rig their races?The only reason why they didn't lose congress is they rigged the districts to favor their candidates. As it was they barely squeeked by in many of those races.
Stonewalling is all the republican party has left. As a national party they are done! finished, caput! They will hang on to local majorities in rural and mentally challenged areas for a while. They won't comes to terms with it and try and reform the party until they lose the house majority in 2014 or 2016.
I'd like to see Republicans roll over and give the Dems everything they want. Everything. Hasten the process. The sooner we get to the rioting in the streets stage the sooner we can get back on track.
When Dems had a majority they didn't pass the crazy shit some of their more radical members proposed. Let the Republicans get out of the way and let it all go through. Let the country see what happens with a strictly Democrat agenda. If there is to be obstructionism, let it come from within their ranks.
With a Dem controlled House we could have had this all wrapped up in probably two years tops. With no budget, massive spending and massive tax increases across the board, we'd collapse quickly and we could do it on a far grander scale that Greece, France and Spain. Plus, nobody would bail us out. No European union over here.
Let it burn.
So you're arguing for stonewalling by the GOP in the house?Yup, let what took 200 years to build burn just so a simpleton piece of shit moron like you can spit. But then again, if it takes two hundred plus years to create worthless Americans like you who live in a bubble of folk who think they are the real Americans, then hey, maybe it's a good idea. I happen to believe, however, that worthless turds like you are recognizable to most of the people and you'll be stomped into the earth the minute you pick up a match. Just go somewhere private and self immolate. You can have everything you wish.
The Dems can claim nothing unless they can find a way to prove they are the lesser of two evils to most people. If liberals can do nothing concrete enough to show their superiority people will forget and go home with the devil that brung them. This presents two challenges, being better in fact and proving it to those who are brain dead. If the alternate devil gets worse and worse while the people forget, we are all going to get fucked real bad. How to be right with good political policy is going to take the efforts of folk of good will across the spectrum, it seems to me but how to deal with the brain dead is going to be a much much harder challenge. They can and do deny anything.
Have you noticed that when you get scared, you get mad?Yup, let what took 200 years to build burn just so a simpleton piece of shit moron like you can spit. But then again, if it takes two hundred plus years to create worthless Americans like you who live in a bubble of folk who think they are the real Americans, then hey, maybe it's a good idea.

The Republicans are good and fucked really.
They have enough control left to gridlock the crap out of things.
BUT :
The fiscal cliff and automatic tax raises and military spending cuts mean that if they don't compromise/work with Obama, they fail their base entirely. They also look like gigantic assholes to the nation if they don't work something out.
This is one situation where they have no way out of the shitstorm.
Have you noticed that when you get scared, you get mad?
It would be a wondrous day indeed if those in power would listen earnestly and sincerly to the ideas of those who are not and choose based on merit even if it something they could claim credit for.
We may, and in spite of my critical self, hope we achieve substantial progress with jobs and other things, but I cannot imagine that the best solutions come from one party or another. We are a far larger people.
As you know there are enormous problems. I would suggest you start threads on how to solve political problems and get real solutions attention. I would recommend edge.org and Ted for more community with people who think about serious things.
Even I am getting tired of my crabby self, that being mostly due to feeling unable to make a more useful contribution.
