Bipartisanship is Dead. It Was Always a Mirage Dangled by Repubs. Time to Bring the Hammer...

[Blackhatjack]

Obama has given Repubs every opportunity to join in a 'bipartisan' way to address the great problems afflicking our country. Repubs have always played the bipartisanship card as a bluff, always intending(and in fact voting) NO to every effort by Democrats.

Reality is everything will have to pass with just Democratic votes.

So the real opposition is coming from the 'blue dog' Democrats.

If Obama wants to be a two term President, he is going to have to bring the hammer. Blue Dogs who threaten to vote against the Democratic Party efforts to address these looming catastrophes need to get the message loud and clear --you will lose chairmanships, seniority, etc. IF you vote with the Repubs to oppose everything while pretending to be acting in the spirit of bipartisanship.

THERE IS NO BIPARTISANSHIP WITH REPUBS --NEVER WAS, NEVER WILL BE.

There is one thing with Repubs --bring down Obama. Obstruct everything. Vote NO on every Democratic action.

Now that we have the rules straight, Obama and the Democratic Congress need to get on with it....
