If the Democrats could establish a one-party dictatorship, they would do it in a heartbeat.

That is exactly why no “comprehensive” bills should ever make it to the Congressional floor, except to the shredder. They can NOT be trusted. Ever.

Polls can be played with. What matters is voting.

Total BS!

That's why we held the last election, to show congress and Obama we disapprove of everything they've done to us!

It was not "get together and do more!

They didn’t poll me. I’d like the DIMocRAT party to dissolve...willingly or unwillingly. I’d like to see all LIBerals banned from any position of authority or responsibility...including having LIB spawn. I’d like absolutely no cooperation with them at any level. I’d like to see every interaction with a LIB to be one in which they are heaped with ridicule and laughed-at. Am I a bit extreme? No...not after what they have done to America, to Freedom, to the Rule of Law, to the Constitution, to civility, to civilization, to logic, to race relations and to the Bill or Rights. LIBs are termites eating away continually at the foundations of Western Civilization.

The GOP will fail until it realizes what it’s dealing with... an opponent party which is directly in line with this nations most dangerous enemies.

And in that light, the dems are no different than the muslim enemy this country faces.

- Like muslims, liberals despise anyone who doesn't subscribe to their thinking, and hold even higher hatred for those who leave their plantation.

- Like muslims, liberals will appear to strike deals with you, only for the opportunity to use your attempts at compromise to crush you.

- Like muslims, liberals want to inculcate our youth with anti-Christian dogma.

- Like muslims, liberals want to usurp the power in this country and forevermore force their nefarious ideology onto the "infidel" masses.

- Like muslims, liberals thirst for the ultimate destruction of America.

“The one issue that the GOP will have trouble dealing with is the 65% wanting a minimum wage increase.”

Why not let the states deal with it then rather than at the federal level? Why should Arkansas have the same minimum wage as New York? If those states want it, then their people have spoken. Federal minimum wage is a major democrat issue - they ran on in 2014, they lost in big numbers. So why worry now - the next election is 2 years away. There are other more pressing issues.

Sure they do that’s why the political ads this season against the incumbents pointed out that the democrat voted with Obama 99% percent of the time. As if the Republican that replaced them was expected to vote with Obama 100% of the time. It certainly appears that Gruber isn’t the only one that thinks the voters are stupid.

“It was not “get together and do more! “

Right on. Kay Hagan ran on how she represented NC values and she could work with people, where Mr Tillis was for the rich, anti-woman and anti regular people. Mr Tillis pointed out she voted with Obozo 96% of the time. So much for getting Kay back in there so she could help work together with Republicans and Obozo.

“And how exactly will the GOP - with many Republicans citing this poll against Obama’s emperor move - deal with the other parts in this poll that they don’t like?”

The same way any political party (or politician) deals with unfavorable issue polling - by ignoring it.

Exactly. I would like the parties to reach across the isle and-

Defend the nation
Destroy murderous Muslims
Foster business
Drill oil domestically
Be honest about the environment
Prohibit the force feeding of lies in public schools
Stop violating nature with perverse new ‘marriage’ laws
Stop killing babies
etc etc etc

Let the bipartisanship begin!

“Why not let the states deal with it then rather than at the federal level?”

Because Union wages are linked to minimum wage at the federal level. In other words- hire up mob of knuckle dragging union goons to stomp their fat butts around town bellowing about burger flippers deserving fifteen bucks an hour. They don’t give a crap about burger flippers. They know if they can bully enough morons into passing a federal minimum wage hike, their already obscenely inflated union wages will climb in kind.

Poll finds Americans want . . .

home owners and home invaders to work together.

parents and pedophiles to work together.

cops and criminals to work together.

citizens and traitors to work together.

lambs and lions to work together.

humans and ebola to work together.

homes and tornados to work together.

“Working together” is defined by democrats as Republicans only whining about giving up their positions.

We should work together, but the Dems are going to have to ride in the back seat.
