How to Work With The Other Side....

I think we all see a problem with people not working together in Washington, but doesn't this seem to be the way to fix it?
First, mock your critics. Make fun of the opposition, and crack jokes about them. Try to embarrass them any way possible.
Next, dare them to sue you. Tell them you'll do whatever you want so fuck off.
Act like a petulant child, whining about people calling you names.
Talk about how the other side has to 'go to the back of the bus' since you won.
Make plenty of references to 'people dangling little tea-bags'
Blame everything on the other side. Tell everyone that the other side refuses to compromise, since they won't give you 100% of what you want.
Doesn't that seem like an excellent way to get cooperation and get things done?

Expand on this if you care to do so. I'm curious for some reason.

Remember the red line in Syria? Yeh That went real well. Putin pulled his pants down and drilled it UP into his tonsils. He's a fucking idiot. Right now we are in damage control and the best we can hope for is that he is as emasculated in government as he is in his marriage to Whorf.

Sept 23, 2012Mitch McConnel says the party's top goal was to make Obama a one term president.
— President Obama, interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” recorded on Sept. 12, 2012, and aired on Sept. 23 “It was no surprise, because the senator from Kentucky, who just spoke, announced at the beginning, four years ago, exactly what his strategy would be. He said, his number-one goal was to make sure that Barack Obama was a one-term president.”
I guess this is what working together means? Can we have a RWNJ explain this, because this tell me that the GOP had no plans on working with Obama..

Boehner gets 98% of what he wants but refuses to deal http://www.redstate.com/diary/rightwingnut2/2011/07/31/john-boehner-we-got-98-of-what-we-wanted/
Can one of you RWNs link me to where Cons or reps offer that kind of deal?

"This is how you solve hard problems," Graham said of Obama's outreach. "We're talking about following up on that, how we can get more people in the mix, so what I see from the president is incredibly encouraging."

The truth is that Boehner and the Republicans are suing Obama for carrying out his duties and being president. The truth is that Republicans had no problem with Bush’s executive orders, or Reagan’s executive orders. The issue that they have isn’t with executive orders. It’s because Barack Obama is the President Of The United States. Real talk
The man, the legend, the face of the GOP, give a big hand for Mr. John Boehner!

This is human nature imo and not just a problem of politics.

Just become a libertarian. Guns, gay marriage, small government .. liberty to smoke pot or trip on caps. Really libertarian in my honest opinion is the only chance we have at becomming non-partisian agàin

Great.
Another uninformed libertarian.
Yes, let's get rid of government to end partisanship.
Then we can all commit suicide to end violence.

Yes we should get rid of government. Without it who gets to make pot or shrooms illegal? And I'm not an uninformed libertarian. Im currently working on my degree in Political science and have read more books on government than you think.have you ever heard of bastiat ? Probably not yet you say im the uninformed one because i think having no government is better than having one that is in the condition ours is in. So what if im an anarcho-libertarian ? Makes more sense then voting democrat or republican and wondering why everything is still the same.both parties are bad and until you realize that ,then we cant start to fix the problem

There are lots of things voters from both parties agree on:
Campaign Finance Reform Immigration Reform Minimum wage increase
to name a few...
But the great thing about American politics is that our leaders are focused on a Malaysian plane that crashed in Ukraine.

Grammar much?
Either way you prove my point. Libertarianism is like you keep getting a rash in your arm, so you cut your arm off.
You can't see past two political parties, so you just want to do away with government altogether. How juvenile.
