Who thinks the Republicans are yearning to work with us now?
I have been hearing this meme more and more lately. Does anyone believe this? These are the same people who were threatening us with the "Nuclear Option" not too long ago if our reps didn't do exactly what they were told to do but now they say they want to "work with us?" Is anyone falling for this line of BS?

2. How many of us are willing to work with THEM?
About the same number, I'd imagine.

3. Nah, they are just holding the football again saying.........
that they won't let it go this time. **See Lucy and Charlie Brown
Naturally the Democratic leadership will fall for it again.

4. They want us to make the tax cuts permanant
That's the only "cooperation" they're offering.

They said boosting food stamps and unemployment benefits was "fiscally irresponsible"...

No, boys. K Street was "fiscally irresponsible."

6. The party, or the citizens registered as Republicans?
There are a lot of fed up Republicans who believe their party sucks after the last 8 years.

Their party has been ignoring them as long as they were ignoring the rest of us.

Ever listen to an Obama speech?

Theres a reason he says change has to happen from the bottom up.

8. If the SCHIP vote is any indication, I doubt it.
But it makes for a nice slogan, it's hard to argue about the idea of unity, even if you know it's never going to happen.
