[Vision2020] GOP Obstructionist Tactics Not Working with the People

[nickgier at roadrunner.com]

Greetings Fellow Visionaries:

See a most recent poll below. The following is from a blog called "The Hill."  I love the Texas Republican comparing themselves to the Taliban.  Let's send him to negotiate with them!

[Republicans are] downright giddy with their obstructionist tactics. “Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban,” bragged Rep. Pete Sessions (Texas), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. “And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person’s entire processes.”

So on one hand we’ve got a president and congressional majority who are heeding the urgent desire of working Americans to kick-start the economy, and on the other, we’ve got a rump minority that patterns itself after guerrilla jihadists who tried to send their country back to the 10th century.
