Let's Be Clear -- it is not "Republican" obstructionism [View All]

[Mme. Defarge]

we are witnessing. Rather, it is the behavior of people being pressured and otherwise extorted by those whom they really represent -- the corporate elite. Health care reform was not supposed to pass, democracy is not really supposed to work, and I believe that the R's have no choice but to refuse to accept this outcome because their sponsors simply will not allow it.

This, IMO, is why they have abandoned all reason and any semblance of dignity. And this is why I truly am concerned that things could get very ugly. NO amount of reasoning, or appeals to accept the will of the people, will alter their position because they serve different masters who are not about to give up money and power.
