The new party of no?

They are forced (and shamed) into doing things. What the President needs to do (to help his own party) is have votes taken on issues that the majority of voting Americans disagree with the GOP on. That's the only way to get the GOP to "deal." If he does try to negotiate with the GOP, it will be him giving in to them. They will give him zip. So, this "negotiation" should only be done on issues where the Majority of American Voters are against the Democrats. This tax extention stuff is not one of those issues. He needs to make the GOP vote against extending the Middle Class tax break.

So you are of the belief that political gain trumps all?

Well, your Senior Senator from Kentucky said job 1 (for him) is to defeat Obama in 2012. So, it not like we don't know where we stand.

Why is it so hard for some to ever actually answer a question directed at them? Like i said before, yes or no would suffice.

If I asked a question on another topic it would seem silly to respond like is done in these threads.

example

Me: Do you think the Yankees should give Jeter what he is asking for considering what he has meant to the team over the last decade

You: Steve Garvey should be in the hall of Fame. You know what that means don't you?

No.



However, your Senior Senator has made getting Obama beat in 2012 his main goal. So, we know his goal is to simply obstruct (again.) We have no expectation of compromise. These are ideologues that don't value compromise.
