When congressional leaders of both parties meet at the White House today, all of us will have an opportunity to show the American people that we got the message of the elections earlier this month.If you had just landed in Washington DC from the planet Gormaria* and you heard this, would you think these two had any ideas in their heads at all? It's like they're begging to be puppets. There's listening to the voters and then there's abject abasement. In theory, we hire these guys because they know how to run the government better than we do. If all they're going to do is follow the polls, we could have done their jobs ourselves.
Republicans heard the voters loud and clear...focus on the priorities of the American people...he conceded that "the overwhelming message" he heard from the voters...they want both parties to work together...the message voters have been delivering for more than a year....We can work together...It's time to choose...It's time to get serious...Americans have been asking...work together on common-sense...Time is running out...the things we know Americans want...Together, we can focus...the things Americans want...time to do the right thing.

What's "amused" me most about this lame duck session is how they're trying to force so many Super-Duper-Urgent bills through without any time to properly consider them. ll because they are less likely to pass in the next congress.
They sound like people who have been evicted and respond by kicking holes in all the walls and ripping out the copper wire.
Where's the humility? The recognition (forget respect) for the message of the elections? All we get is "Republicans want to kick puppies!" stories instead of "Republicans work to get puppies off ticking bomb."
Grrr.
(amietyl. Probably the drug I need to be put on to relax a bit..)
I'll forgive them this bit of rhetorical lameness. The proof is in the pudding. Let's see these two deliver on legislation.
Nobody told them to work with Democrats? Who told them to work with Democrats? We sent them there to stop Democrats!
If this keeps up, can we say "third party"?
