When GOP Says It Still Won't Cooperate If Obama is Elected...

The thing that comes to mind is this:

Go ahead GOP, tie Romney around your neck. You will go down with the ship then. Keep touting your obstructionism to progress. Americans blame the GOP IN CONGRESS for the fact that we aren't where we should be. Every House member is up for election this year. We'll go ahead and remove the GOP.

ATVL Obama needs to ask for voters to help him by changing out their teaparty reps. He is probably afraid it will result in the loss of some Dems as well but if he does it correctly it will not.

This really is an opportunity.

The GOP needs to be declared a hate group, and they need to be eradicated from our Government. Period. These people have no business having ANY kind of say in the running of our Country....

every Democratic candidate should participate in local debates. In the final statement segment (especially if selected to go first) should repeat these words:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I won't mince words; I voted (would have voted) for the American Jobs Act that economists projected to produce, literally, millions of non-out sourcible American jobs. Ask my opponent how he/she voted on this much needed legislation; ask him/her what he/she proposed as an alternative. I'll answer that for you: 'NO' and 'Nothing"; but remember ... this past election was supposed to be about jobs. One would think that the party of my opponent decided that it was more important to ensure that this president was a one term president by obstructing American economic progress, than passing the legislation that would have created much needed jobs ... and my opponent went along with it."
