Ferndale Trumps Hate Sunday Nov. 20th

[GMan]

I didn't like the obstruction from the Republicans during much of Obama's term. I thought it was childish. [[And most here know my politics -- I voted Straight R.)

Whether the Democrats decided to mimic Republican bad behavior remains to be seen. I hope not, because I think there are good progressive actions that are needed in the world -- but it just went a little too far, a little too fast. And I think a lot of the public is the same way.

Democrats can decide whether they want 'business as usual' obstruction, or they want to re-create bipartisan politics. I think they'll get further with cooperation. I expect obstruction.

I don't think there was obstruction from the R party. What agenda didn't O get but Gun control and the Fairness doctrine.

The only tool congress has is the budget when it comes to a President using Presidential orders to enact his desires and the republicans passed a budget that allowed the resettlement of aliens in communities across the US and they passed a budget the allowed the A.C.A. to commence after standing firmly against the passage of the bill in Congress.
Doesn't sound like obstructionism.

Well, you have a point.

I do recall prominent Repubs swearing to fight each and every issue to the death. And I thought that was a mistake. But its what I remember. Of course in practice they didn't fight everything.

But it doesn't really matter. Let's just hope that rather than Hate from the left, we can get some recognition that there are people who disagree with them -- and they're not all racists.
