No Talk of Bipartisanship In US House GOP Leader Race
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--While talk elsewhere in Washington may be of bipartisanship and consensus next year, the newly elected U.S. House Republican leadership plans to fight Democrats every step of the way, Republican aides and lawmakers say.

...snip...

In contrast to their Republican counterparts in the Senate - who will also be forced to hand over control because of last week's elections - Boehner, Blunt and none of the candidates they defeated made any mention of working with Democrats next year.

"The primary mission of the Republican Party ... will be to defeat the agenda of the Democratic Party," Pence said in a memorandum to colleagues announcing his candidacy for House Republican leader.

2. The will of the American people means nothing to them.
Their corporate masters have complete control.
