I am aware that the Republicans voted no on everything. It illuminates how sad Obama is that even though they voted no on everything he continued to try and come to some sort of agreement with them. The dems added in amendment after amendment that the right wanted only to be slapped in the face with more no votes.

He (Obama) was delusional believing that a compromise was possible. It never was and still isn't. They want him to be a one term President and don't really care how they go about making that happen. You suggest that he should have been working with the GOP to come up with a workable solution but you and I both know that the GOP had/have a policy of making sure Obama gets no victories at all... they have stated it and proven it repeatedly.

what I do not understand is that otherwise intelligent people like yourself defend a party that has decided that they will do anything to regain and control power oftentimes in direct opposition for what is in the best interest of the country.

It is fine to disagree with the policy of the opposing party and to have party unity (god knows the dems could use some of that). But to do it at the cost of the American people and society as a whole shows such a supreme arrogance and disregard for the offices they hold it is shocking.

I am so liberal I am sure many people would gleefully call me a socialist, but when the 'progressive party' fucks up I call them on it. If they were voting no ON EVERYTHING I would be up in arms screaming for them to pull their heads out of their asses.

They work for us, all of us. No matter how much they disagree with the left it represents a lot of Americans and politics is the art of compromise. I think people like you and other (for lack of a better word) conservatives should be shouting at them to do their damned jobs. I know I had been doing it to the dems until I became so disgusted by them I gave up
