re: #224 Walter L. Newton

Reading the article in Huffington, what I found most interesting was that all the compromises that eventually watered down the bill were compromises instigated and approved by Democrats, since the Republicans once again decided to stay unanimously against the bill in any form.

The weaknesses of this bill can only be laid in the laps of the Democrats. The GOP may be the party of NO, but the Democrats are doing a good job of proving they are the party of CAN’T.

Of course. The GOP literally isn’t any longer participating in the legislative process. They took their ball and went home. This is a deliberate strategy, designed to result in the failure of the legislature as a whole, and of course, it works.

It amazes me that you see two parties, one that fails despite effort to produce good legislation, and one that actively fights ANY attempts at doing so, and you find less fault with the party that has openly stated that their goal is to railroad any and all progress for a hoped political gain.

Of course, you’re just being “post-partisan”, huh?
