WASHINGTON, March 23 (UPI) -- A Senate Republican leader says his party will look for bipartisan chances on a "case-by-case basis," not just refuse to cooperate as one senator suggested.

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, said while Republicans disagree with the way Democrats developed healthcare legislation, they wouldn't dismiss working across the aisle out of hand, The Hill reported Tuesday.

Is Thune insane or I pray he is telling CNN BS because he knows they are liars who hate conservatives.

He’s probably lying to CNN for the reasons you say. Two can play that game.

Both of these pathetic bastards ought to be thrown in a tiger cage for a couple of years, not that it would smarten them up any.

JOIN THE WAR TO THE DEATH AGAINST THE MARXISTS NOW OR GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY.

>Thune’s comments contradict Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Obama’s opponent in the 2008 presidential election, who said the Democrats’ handling of the healthcare bill process killed hopes of bipartisan support for the rest of 2010.

the very few times I would agree with McCain.

And if it makes sense, and we think these are solutions that represent the middle, and not the extreme left, like the healthcare bill did, then we will be willing to work with the Democrats and to make sure that we try and get good solutions in place."

SCREW APPEASING THE MIDDLE, THUNE. YOU NEED TO REPRESENT YOUR BASE, YOU IDIOT! HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED A DAMNED THING ABOUT DISSING YOUR CONSERVATIVE BASE?

I'm so pee-o'd I'm going to bed!

Problem is when they get to DC even though the Dems are political opponents they get chummy with them and hence get a little weak knee’d. The only compromise is if the ideas are in accordance with conservative, constitutional principles. If not, then screw the Dems!

I doubt McPOS would be saying that if he wasn’t up for re-election.

Vote NO on all pending legislation and nominees until the GOP takes back Congress. Show them what a real party of NO looks like.

If true, Thune should step down now or commit hari kari.

Reconciliation itself was unconstitutional, the Democrats don’t care about a separation of powers or how our Constitution requires legislation to be approved.

This is a banana republic. It is not a valid session of congress. Shut it down until the 2010 victors are seated.
