Default The real party of NO, the GOP, steps it up

The current GOP has no shame whatsoever. Why were you elected? Work on jobs? The economy? Pretend you believe in bipartisanship?

Nope - the GOP is just gonna do what Mitch McConnell promised, and what the GOP has been doing for the past two years: nothing at all

GOP, thanks for screwing the voters who elected you to fix joblessness and the economy. Thanks for putting partisan politics first, before your country.

GOP, thanks for making it crystal clear that you and the newly elected Tea Party senators are nothing more than political hacks pretending to be patriots that care about this country.

This is from Faux News (so Chuck and Dell can't discount it out of hand as being "from the evil liberal media" although it's a nationally released AP story )

Quote:
WASHINGTON -- Senate Republicans intend to block action on virtually all Democratic-backed legislation unrelated to tax cuts and government spending in the current postelection session of Congress, officials said Tuesday, adding that the leadership has quietly collected signatures on a letter pledging to carry out the strategy.

Officials who disclosed the new Republican maneuver did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss it.

It was not known how many of the Senate's 42 Republicans had signed the draft letter, which the leadership intends to make public quickly.

The letter comes after comments by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and others in his party that the voters made it clear in the elections they want lawmakers to focus on economic issues.
