    I wonder how long it's going to take the rightwing cheerleaders here to start ranting about how the repubs in Congress aren't "real" repubs and how we need to get rid of them and install "real" repubs.

    I also wonder how long it's going to take for people to get their memories back.

    Give it a rest. The right wing "cheerleaders" as you call them here have been calling out republicans that are not conservative far more often than you have written anything at all critical to the left.

    Talk about people with bad memory.

    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Tommy:
    See me.
    Feel me.
    Touch me.
    Heal me.

    Listening to you,
    I get the music.
    Gazing at you,
    I get the heat.
    Following you,
    I climb the mountains.
    I get excitement at your feet.

    ( he wants excitement at your feet). . . it goes on

    Right behind you,
    I see the millions.
    On you,
    I see the glory.
    From you,
    I get opinions.
    From you,
    I get the story.

  7. Mr. McConnell has already made it clear how he would proceed: He intends to attach his demands to required spending bills, forcing the president to choose between accepting Republican policies and vetoing spending bills, which could lead to shutting down all or part of the government.

    Those demands could take the form of riders aimed at blocking an array of environmental activities — everything from limiting carbon pollution from power plants to protecting clean water — and at repealing new consumer protections and restrictions on financial institutions. There would be no minimum-wage increase, or big investments in education, or immigration reform.

    Republicans would also be certain to block Mr. Obama’s choices for judgeships — all but guaranteeing a judicial crisis unless the president agreed to conservative choices — as well as his executive appointments, starting with a new attorney general. It’s hard to imagine a Congress less productive than this one, but obstructionism could actually get worse if a new majority took hold.
