Spot-on. That's exactly why Republicans were elected in this historical election cycle.
It certainly wasn't to "negotiate" with or "find common ground" with Obama --- it was purely to stop Obama dead in his tracks.
Any Republican who negotiates with or "finds common ground" with Obama will be gone come 2016.
Boehner and the rest of the Republican's better start looking to Ted Cruz for real leadership. He's apparently one of the few/only Republicans in DC that gets it.
