Reid said before the election: “A Democrat Senate will not work with a President Romney”
Boehner said after the election: “Republicans will agree to a tax hike under the right circumstances”. Like the economy will be less hurt by Republican tax hikes than Democratic tax hikes... Obama didn't have to win the House it seems.
Why couldn't Boehner say “We will work with a President Obama to the same extent Harry Reid promised the Democrats would work with a President Romney”. And answer every question that way for the next 4 years. Remind everyone who started the partisanship. The Democrats promised to blame Bush “forever”. They meant it, and its working.
Is it too much to ask for Republicans to be as steadfast in their principles as the Democrats are to theirs?

Voting for a guy who might get us a 6-3 or 7-2 Supreme Court is compromising principles? The Supreme Court obama constructs will impact us for 15-20 years!

Because he has to appear to be agreeable for now. If he doesn’t and Sequestration and the “fiscal cliff” happen, the Republicans will be blamed. Remember the Left OWNS THE MEDIA. That is why 53% of the dopes that made up the electorate still believe Bush is to blame for the economy rather than Barney Frank and his ilk.
The Left owns the mass media. We get blamed for every negative.
