Lol...You think the Republicans are gonna run roughshod over Obama?

With a Congress that can't override a veto?

Yeah...right. keep dreaming.

First two items to try and send up to the Pres. are a major oil pipeline and a tax cut for a group of medical manufacturers.

Hows about a real Jobs bill.
Umm, anyone who ends up needing a medical device and everyone who uses energy benefits from these bills. Your theory needs a rest.

Yeah...because we all believe that the Republicans are for less government and lower expenditures.

You've just been waiting for a chance to prove it.

You know, like that last Republican Congress did when they cut government and rampant spending....

Oh...wait...

No one else for you to vote for? There are more than just those two parties. Maybe non-voters should start looking at those other candidates to find a better one to vote for.

So we need to get rid of a 1.4% tax which is used to keep medical premiums lower. We need to help a Foreign Corp move its product across states with water issues and property issues, which if leaks will harm the entire nation.

Cons like the taxes on Medical manufacturers except it needs to be called a fee. Fee= Republican for tax.

Will be fun to watch.
So, you're saying it's business as usual in DC?

I know what the answer is, let's give the government more control and more power, that should solve it.

We know what the real problem it, it's the voters who elect people who don't place the country as their main concern. The only way to fix this is to not have any voters. We need the government to be in charge of choosing the government.

A moderate has become a person who doesn't want anybody blocking any bills, spending or new programs.

If you feel the government shouldn't be forced to make any hard choices, you're a moderate.

Many cast a vote while staying home on election day.

To blame Repubs and not Dems is a sign that your voting criteria is severely flawed and no hope will come from your direction.
