Editor's note: Ed Rollins, a senior political contributor for CNN, is senior presidential fellow at the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency at Hofstra University. He is a principal with the Dilenschneider Group, a global public relations firm. He was White House political director for President Ronald Reagan and chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
(CNN) -- The first date is over. Not much happened. President Obama and his new governing partners, the House and Senate Republicans, met at the White House along with the Democratic leaders and discussed the unsolvable issues between them.
Even though they made no decisions and both sides went their separate ways, they agreed to start negotiations on extending the tax cuts. That in itself is the beginning of a positive process. They actually talked to each other and talked of a plan for action.
As with real dating, both sides have to get along or nothing will happen. So maybe this situation has more in common with an arranged marriage.
The American voters are the substitute parents, and they want this marriage to work or at least to be civil. And we, the voters, hold the shotgun.

After Carter, Reagan was a breath of fresh air! In fact, if there was one problem he caused me it was to be too comfortable because I felt safe with him.
Then...things went to pot!
It’s going to get even worse than elections before. There will be many trolls, and many more disagreements among FReepers. Try not to let yourself get upset.
He isn't honest, so he can't keep us honest, he has not intention of being honest, he's just interested in being an attention whore.
He may have helped with the Rudybots, I have no idea, what I do know is he sows division, deceit and discord on the forum and has been doing so for the better part of a year now.
That's not whining, it's simply the truth. I'm sure they love him on KOS and DU. He gives them daily lessons showing how to divide conservatives.
The Stalking Horse’s fan-club said the same thing last time. No worries.
” Actually, she did. Listen to her comments on O’Reilly. She’d deport those that don’t register. Then, she makes the comment regarding the remaining millions of illegal aliens that “there has to be an expectation they will work and they will contribute.” She also says that “immigration reform” will outline steps to follow in order to stay in the country and work. In other words, they will be forgiven (amnesty) for illegally entering the country as long as they follow some new checklist. “Immigration reform” is the same old lingo touted by McCain for the past several years, to which Sarah has consistently stated her agreement. “
Add LOST Treaty and carbon credits.
Palin = Reagan’s big toe ;-)
I'm back to "No comment" mode.
But, it is very nice to "see" you again.
Do tagline changes count as comments?
” Reagan was not primarily an attack Grizzly like Palin is, he was a true visionary and communicator who made you believe better days were ahead for the USA. “
Very well stated!
Palin has done a good job annoying Obama(I like when she calls him Obama) and raising money, but she is NOT Reagan. I really think we wont see another Reagan.
Have you noticed that those critical of Reagan today compare the specific things/policies he did to the problems today in an attempt to make him look bad? But 1981 is not 2013. It is like liberals going back and claiming George Washington was an evil sexist racist.
Plus Reagan was a two (three election) term president. That meant he HAD to take specific positions on everything. That is different than say Obama running for president with no experience attacking Bush and dodging specifics with help from the MSM.
I'll pick these apart as time allows. I'll start here:
Me: But unlike the sniveling worshipers here that constantly tell us "only Sarah" can win,
You: Name more than one. I don't converse with anyone who says that.
Funny, I've seen you gabbing with folks who say retarded, cultist things all the time, like...
We will achieve the solidarity of one mind and heart: take our nation back.Only Governor Palin can bring that about. All the rest are mere poseurs. People will ask why only Palin? It is simple really. She is deeply in touch with nature and the Divine principle. Because of this she has been empowered in her life through her own activity and the high aspirations we have for the constitution and the Republic. Palin is unstoppable in that view.
and...
Only Palin & Reagen (sic) have been the People's Servants; the rest have been our Kings
and
Only Palin has put herself out there. Only Palin has taken the risks, called out Obama, confronted the media, and unabashedly challenged anyone to a fight of patriotism.
and
Sarah Palin is the ONLY one out of the bunch who has the energy, charisma, fighting spirit, Conservative bona fides, and political power with which to take on and defeat Obama and his Chicago goons in 2012
and
I am voting for her in 2012 even if she does not win the primary. I think she is the right choice. She is the Deborah to his Barak, and the Esther to his Haman.
and
Palin is the ONLY one with the chance of beating Barack Obama.
and
Sarah Palin is the only one who has the balls to stand toe to toe against Obama and expose him to the American people for what he is
and
Sarah is the only one that I can truly see getting into the White House
It goes on and on and on and on.....
Take these phrases and google them. they are from your fellow cultists. And none from the Ohio worshiper.
