Liberal in the Land of Conservative

Just the other day I posted about a video cleverly created by Republican Eric Cantor in which he chastises Democrats for not getting anything done in Congress. Well, it seems a colleague of his has provided us with an interesting answer as to why little has been accomplished this session. You have to wonder, Is this the Michele Bachmann strategy as well? Unfortunately, I suspect it is...

"The strategy is to lay low and then blame them for not getting anything done. The truth is, we all lose."

-Rep. RAY LAHOOD (R-Ill.)
when asked about congressional Republicans resisting initiatives by their Democratic colleagues

If obstructionism is the best the Republicans have to offer, what possible reason would people have in voting for them? I certainly don't expect everyone to agree with me or my party on every single issue but if the best you can muster is blocking proposed solutions without so much as seeking common ground, perhaps you should get out of the way and let the grown ups run the country. Pouting over a lost election is no way to run a government.
