But the Pres always chooses conservatives. This isnt the first Bush buddy rhett o rick May 2013 #34

Always?? DCBob May 2013 #43

Statistically, always. rhett o rick May 2013 #140

Clearly you dont have a clue what an actual conservative is. DCBob May 2013 #205

Always is very easy to reject - all we need is one - try Hilda Solis karynnj May 2013 #212

"Even I" should be able to see it? Plez rhett o rick May 2013 #213

That is the same as saying that DEMOCRATS zeemike May 2013 #137

NO. Its simply a matter of showing some basic bipartisanship. DCBob May 2013 #198

You can't be bipartisan by yourself. zeemike May 2013 #200

But we also cant give up on it otherwise I fear this country is doomed. DCBob May 2013 #202

And I agree with that. zeemike May 2013 #206

And God knows the other bipartison lovechild, the sequester . .. markpkessinger May 2013 #153

What's good for the country is destroying the Republican Party politically. stillwaiting May 2013 #199

One could argue these bipartisan efforts by Obama are damaging the GOP. DCBob May 2013 #203

How do you know what party he is. OKNancy May 2013 #54
