Robert Draper's new book, Do Not Ask What Good We Do, reveals a meeting by top level Republicans on inauguration day in 2009 in which they plot to oppose every bill and/or campaign put forth by the incoming administration.  They have since cynically acted on this plot ever since, putting their own political aspirations ahead of the good of the country.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Anyone can say anything in a book and that doesn't make it so.  It's kind of hard to deny something that's on tape though.  I know you deny it but at the time the dems had a filibuster proof majority so it would have done the republicans no good to plot anything of the sort.

The bottom line is that new Republicans fulfilled a campaign promise to their constituents; to cut spending, eliminate earmarks and pork.

They forced a Democrat Senate and president to abide.

The liberals were enraged, so they went on the attack to demonize ANYONE who disagreed.


And that is all I got to say about that.

My computer is acting weird....had to go back an fix it.  I write sometimes in word and then copy and paste, but for some reason, it did not like that.  It is also not spacing everything I write...I gotta go back and put spaces in, most of the time.

I would suggest that their actions ever since support the veracity of this claim.

Do we really have to go through this again?  The democrats only had a fillibuster-proof majority for 14 weeks.

They only believe it if it appears on Fox or World Nut Daily. And even then, we would be lucky if they remembered it.
