Now I get it.
Okay, now I understand the basic problem with Republican thinking.
Jon Kyl, on CNN just now:
Yes, Jon, that's how a two-party system works. Each party attempts to gain a majority in Parliament, and the party with the majority gets to implement its agenda.
Your problem is that you didn't try to implement your agenda when you had the majority in both houses. You simply followed Sultan Bush in lockstep, though many of you knew his agenda was a bizarre mix of Leftism and Idiotism. Sultan Bush followed Teddy Kennedy on most domestic questions and followed Woodrow Wilson on most foreign matters. The perfectly predictable result of steering in those directions was a total catastrophe.
If the brand-R side of Congress had figured out how a two-party system works ... ... if you had tried to push an understandable agenda instead of mindlessly following an insane man ... you wouldn't be in this position now. Since you didn't perform your duty, you aren't entitled to criticize the other brand for performing its duty. ¶ 11:23 AM

We appreciate Obama's outreach efforts, but too often we are met by a response that says 'We won, so we get to do it our way.'
