Give me one good reason why any Democrat would clamor to bring the GOP into the discussion w/ these two facts:
1. Every Republican that's been seen doing any kind of compromise w/ Democrats has been voted out their next primary
2. Republicans have outright stated they're primary goal is obstruct any & everything the President tries to do.

Ben Nelson, from Nebraska, is retiring this year. He embarrassed Nebraska over the Obamacare BS and Nebraska wouldn't take the kickback because of it. He has gone way to the left now and is supporting John Kerry in the quest for his seat. Fisher, an unknown, is beating Kerry and I would guess Kerry wishes Nelson would retire quietly into the night.

I highly doubt Nelson would speak out about the president abusing his powers. He gave up his career for Obama. Another one under the bus.

The goal of ALL politicians is to work toward the goal of their ideology. Do you think that's something new?

It's a shame the Repubs don't obstruct themselves too. The more Congress does to run our lives the worse it gets. Local government is best.
