I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Presumably Republican congressmen wouldn't be endorsing him if he was the Democratic Nominee for President. :rolleyes:

Outside the Conservative echo chamber it's pretty obvious that Republicans in Congress have no interest in working with the President.  2008 broke the record in
filibusters.

:huh:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

That really wouldn't have accomplished much would it?  We already had those for the Primary.

I thought we were talking about Romney.

Re: GOP control of congress, I feel pretty confident that they will retain the House and think they have a good shot at taking the Senate.  Nothing is ever 100% certain of course, but I would still want a Pretend Democrat President Romney to work with the GOP in any case.

So, how about that Transportation bill?

Is there any indication that the GOP would act differently if there was different Democrat in office?  The previous Democrat they obstructed and impeached.  Several Republicans have stated this is simply a strategy.  There is no reason to believe they would not adopt the same strategy for another Democratic President.  Especially one who created a socialized healthcare law in his own state.
