Congratulations for proving you are capable of nothing but making inflammatory, ignorant attacks while trying to offend as many people as possible. Your mother must be proud.

Most of all I want my congressman to spend less time spewing party rhetoric and more time focusing on what ails this nation.
I know, I know pipe dreams never come true.
Yes, That. Except I would add: I expect my Congressman and Senators to follow the lead of their constituents. You know, the PEOPLE who hired them!

I refuse to support anyone who is unable to compromise. I want adults in DC, adults can compromise, children whine, throw tantrums, and read gibberish on the House floor.

Are you calling Obama a whining child? After all he refused to negotiate, he didn't compromise and got what he wanted.

No, in this case, I'm not. I wouldn't negotiate with terrorists either. If the House passed a CR, than wanted to negotiate, and he said no, and if the House did so w/o ultimatums and w/o wishing to overrule established bills, I'd have problems with his stance.

In this case, and I seldom say this, I totally agree with how the WH acted.

Neither OBL nor Ted Cruz deserved to be treated with a willingness to negotiate.
