How about not rejecting a UN treaty (which was ratified by 126 nations) that would allow disabled citizens around the world to have the same rights as everyone else. Would that be reasonable? Sidenote: Bob Dole(a disabled person) was present to witness his Republican compadres put that through with ease, and was disappointed ---of course because Republicans never seem to want to do the correct thing.
Not having meaningless votes around 50 times to repeal a law that's not going anywhere -- when they could be doing work on issues like immigration reform? Would that be reasonable?
How about not letting the FAA shut down? (until it started to impact their own travel plans) Would that be reasonable?
How about getting on board with all scientists to take steps toward improving the climate change situation? Especially when the EPA leaders of the last 4 republican administrations have also urged them to do so? Would that be reasonable? To quit acting like science doesn't exist because of the excuse "well, I'm not a scientist".
That's the tip of the iceberg. If you think this stuff is no big deal, then you're more brain dead and stubborn we all thought. You can't defend any of these shenanigans. It's all indefensible.
