re: #240 SasyMomaCat

Which part of the Republican inquiries irks you? (other than the fact that they were put forth?)

Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t agree, necessarily, with the overall tone or even a few of the implications. However, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to ask about the “starting points” of this discussion before entering it.

Mostly, I don’t trust them. They’ve made demands and gotten concessions several times now, and have yet to vote for anything even when they’ve been given what they asked for. Their stated objective is to defeat the president. He has repeatedly said, “Work with me.” and their response is a set of demands? Fuck them. This isn’t about them. It’s about the American people.

Starting over is a non-starter. Now that they have a 41 seat majority (yes…/ ) they don’t feel like they have to let anything pass…with the exception of budgets.
