If working with repubs is so fascinating name some things that you are proud that they did.

[Neshanic]

If Obama is going work with them, then what in the past is evidence that they are people( and I mean that in the loosest of terms), we can work with. There must be something that they have done in a big way that was good for the country.

Please name them. Name the big accomplishments that has made your life better, the country better, or anything better.

[Bluerthanblue]

1. they supported the CIVIL RIGHTS act- against many Dems. voted

for it by a larger percentage than we did as a matter of fact.

peace~

[uppityperson]

3. Ah, the "old" meaning of Republican, not those neo-con-fundies of these days.

[Bluerthanblue]

7. yeah, well I was alive in 1964- It was the dark ages of history

but the fact remains that they did take the correct position on this.

Gotta give credit where credit is due- :shrug:



:hi:
peace~

[uppityperson]

14. Me too. I find myself having to explain over and over and sounding like an old person.

"You don't know what it was like" to people about (my issue) reproductive rights. People who are willing to give up some of the rights we fought hard for, it gets me because I've seen how bad it was. Yes, it still is not good in many ways (many issues), but we need to continue to fight to not go backwards.

[caledesi]

31. I agree! NT

[rug]

28. And have spent the last 20 years trying to dismantle it, especially through their judicial picks.

[panader0]

2. Well, I'd have to go back to Lincoln

The Emancipation Proclamation

[sandnsea]

4. Lugar on Non-proliferation

McCain working with Feingold on campaign finance. Hatch working with Kennedy on SCHIP. Coburn working with Obama on putting spending online. A variety of Republicans who have helped protect ANWR. When the majority of Republicans helped pass the Brady Bill.

People really need to open their eyes.

[Neshanic]

6. Oh really. This is getting fascinating, tell us more. We need to know to what limit you will sell

us out with your candidate.

[skipos]

9. This is one of those "Let me ask a question (but I really don't care what the answer is)" posts, eh?

:eyes:

[Neshanic]

11. No I would like to gather a list, and then rank them on how they improved our collective lives.

[sandnsea]

22. Those were sell-outs??

So Hillary told Bill to sign legislation to sell out children across the country. Is that it?

You're embarrassing yourself.

[Neshanic]

27. Any Democratic candidate that make such a big deal with wanting to work with

the same people that have cause this horror show is suspect in judgement. If he works from a position of power, then OK, but this lay down now strategy is disgusting.

Oh and to add, you will be the embarrassed one IF he wins.

[sandnsea]

30. Nobody said anything about laying down

Hillary is the one who has enabled Bush for 8 years.

[John Q. Citizen]

5. I thought Clinton passing thier balanced budget idea was good. I didn't like their telecom bill he

signed, but I guess Clinton did, or he wouldn't have signed it.

[TwilightGardener]

8. Well, since everyone's all up in arms about him as a cabinet choice today:

Hagel-Dodd, the Infrastructure Bank Act--which HILLARY cosponsored! Obama-Hagel, anti-nuke-terror legislation. The Global Poverty Act, cosponsored by Obama, Hagel, and Cantwell. Evil, evil, evil Repub!! Oh wait, on edit: Webb-Hagel troop-rest amendment, Webb-Hagel Improved GI Bill--forgot about those evil pieces of bipartisan legislation from my Senator.

[Neshanic]

10. Ok name more.

[TwilightGardener]

12. Look it up yourself, I only know these off the top of my head because he's my Senator.

I'm not going to do all your research for you. But most worthwhile bills that get passed in Congress are drafted with bipartisan support. That's how they end up getting passed.

[lumberjack_jeff]

13. Teddy Roosevelt

Roosevelt was the first U.S. president to call for universal health care and national health insurance.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt

Is it not interesting how low the bar is set to be considered a radical today?

[Neshanic]

16. Lets keep it to say....since Eisenhower. That should be gobs o' good stuff that they did.

Why since Reagan it has been a paradise of republican forward thinking.

[TwilightGardener]

24. Eisenhower ended the Korean War. Nixon improved our relations with China.

Reagan improved our relations with the Soviet Union. Poppy Bush was at least smart enough NOT to invade Iraq and take out Saddam. Only Chimpy Jr. has been a complete and unmitigated disaster as GOP Preznit.

[crispini]

15. The do not call list! George W. Bush and the prior congress passed that.

It was the best thing they ever did!

True and so funny! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[MadBadger]

17. End Slavery?

[Neshanic]

20. After Eisenhower please. And we all know Lincoln was gay, so

he would not of been a republican in the wildest dreams of republicans now.

[Faygo Kid]

26. Lincoln gay? Good grief.

We certainly all don't know that.

It would be irrelevant, anyway, to what he did. And it's about as unsubstantiated as any rumor can be. He slept in the same bed with other men? They all did back then.

Good grief. That reply did not do you proud. Silly season.

[lumberjack_jeff]

18. Okay, I came up with one. Seriesly.

The ADA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Act_of_1990

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Eisenhower spoke out against the military industrial complex

[guidod]

23. Very good!

He had a very important speech about that about being very careful the military doesn't dictate to government.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. And according to his family,

his first version of that speech said "CONGRESSIONAL military industrial complex" and his advisers talked him into taking out 'congressional'.

[MadHound]

21. Well, Nixon, as big a bastard as he was, actually did some good things

EPA, Clean Water Act, opened up China. I detested the man, thinking that he was the worst president in our history until Bush came along, but you've got to give him some props, he did a few good things.

[Neshanic]

25. So the pattern. Rockefeller republicans.

They don't exist anymore
