If the Republicans had acted as grown-ups

[LiberalFighter]

and worked with the Democrats we wouldn't have these minor glitches in the bill.

And they didn't bother reading the bill as it was being put together either.

1. They jumped the shark in 1994 with them taking back the House and Senate

and establishing Newt Gringrich as their spokesperson. Their entire modus operandi has been contention, competition, and adversity. Never to agree with the democrats, but rather to vanquish and neutralize, if not destroy.

2. Exactly. The ntation's welfare is second to them. Haters, the lot of them. nt

3. Republicans have proved one thing...

Without a doubt we now know they have no right to call themselves Americans. I equate Republicans with the Devil and the Terrorist...They are truly out to destroy America...more will see this as times go on...

4. Plus: They'd be able to claim victory showing that the bill contains GOP amendments...

...and really set themselves up for big gains in November.

But, as it is, obstructing the bill even to the point of voting AGAINST their own ideas - they've made a huge strategic error and have landed on the wrong side of the issue.

Idiots. Thank god.

5. Excellent point.

Clearly they did not read the bill!

6. There are no leaders within the Republican party.
