results are everything.

If Republicans want to block everything, immediately figure out how to work around them, including telling the Democrats in the Senate to get off their dead asses and change any rules like the filibuster and secret holds that make it even easier for Republicans to obstruct there than in the House.

But that would assume Obama and Senate Democrats had a more radically different agenda than the GOP.
