Obama re-election not likely to ease GOP intransigence
Perhaps out of a forced sense of optimism, President Obama has predicted that if he wins re-election, Republicans in Congress will be more willing to work with him than they proved to be in his first term, when defeating him became their primary goal.
As he told the Associated Press:
“What I’m offering the American people is a balanced approach that the majority agrees with, including a lot of Republicans. And for me to be able to say to the Republicans, the election is over; you no longer need to be focused on trying to beat me; what you need to be focused on and what you should have been focused on from the start is how do we advance the American economy — I’m prepared to make a whole range of compromises, some of which I get criticized from the Democratic Party on, in order to make progress. But we’re going to need compromise on your side as well. And the days of viewing compromise as a dirty word need to be over because the American people are tired of it.
That’s, I think, a message that will resonate not with every Republican, but I think with a lot of fair-minded Republican legislators who probably feel somewhat discouraged about having served in one of the least productive Congresses in American history.”
Nancy Pelosi, who happens to have a ground-level view of the situation, disagrees, insisting that her Republican colleagues will be just as obstinate as ever.
“I see this president sit for hours being very respectable, but trying to find a path where there could be agreement when there is [none],” Pelosi said. “‘Never. Does never work for you?’ That’s really what they’re saying to the president.”
Conservative pundit Ramesh Ponnuru, writing in Bloomsberg, agrees with Pelosi:
“If the president believes anything like this would happen in his second term, he is kidding himself. If Obama wins re-election, the Republican Party will react by moving right, not left. It will become less likely to compromise with Obama, not more….
Republicans, especially at the grassroots level, would react to Obama’s re-election by assuming that Romney failed because he was too moderate. That’s a very widespread view among Republicans about why Senator John McCain lost in 2008. During the primaries, many of Romney’s opponents argued that he would lose because he would fail to energize conservatives. This interpretation of 2008 is probably wrong, and it will probably be the wrong explanation for a Romney defeat, if it happens. It will nonetheless be an appealing theory for conservatives.”
Pelosi and Ponnuru are probably correct. Absent a major and unexpected swing in voter sentiment, I’m doubtful that most Republicans will be any more willing to compromise and act reasonably than they have been for the past four years. A cult that defines itself by its own intransigence will not surrender that identity easily.
Sure, a few of their more responsible members — perhaps including House Speaker John Boehner and senators such as Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson of Georgia — may be willing to cut a deal with the president on spending and revenue, but the success of the ongoing Great RINO Purge probably ensures that they will be too few in number and influence to make a difference.
In other words, this game of political chicken is likely to continue for as long as a largely apathetic and ill-informed American public is willing to tolerate it. I don’t see that changing soon.

There certainly is truth to what you are saying, however I highly doubt that the vast majority of those attending Baptist churches are affiliated or sympathizing with the KKK or anything close to it.
It has been sometime now, but the one’s I attended growing up didn’t fit that description you give them.
Are there some like that who attend Baptist churches? I’m sure there are, but by and large that isn’t who they are today.
There are certainly some social issues where they are stuck in the 1600s, but most have moved or are moving past racial issues of that magnitude.

Obama biggest mistake was he believed because he was President that conservatives whites would put the country over race ha, ha, ha, this great President has never lived in the south.
President Obama actually thought white conservatives would rally behind him the way they did Bush after 911, ha ha, these anti Americans was planning on the night he was elected how to destroy his time in office, this came as no surprise to regular blacks, latinos, and other miniorites the southern conservative history will always chose race over country, untill another attack on the country then these hypocrites will give you that old tired we are American line so you can go fight their war.

You’re allowing your prejudices to color your opinions. The Southern Baptist CHURCH did no such thing. In a territory where the KKK is active and the majority of the population is at least titularly Southern Baptist, of course it would stand to reason that there would be a proportionate representation of that category. In the Midwest of the 1920s and 1930s when the KKK had millions of members, you could make the same argument that it was Lutherans or Methodists. Go back and look at the results from the Al Smith candidacy…precisely those states with the highest Baptist populations were the ones he carried. Thus, Baptists are “fed into” the Papiocracy…

Democrats Change Platform to Add God, Jerusalem
FLIP, meet FLOP
Tonight, the Democratic National Committee suspended the rules of the convention and inserted language regarding God and the State of Israel back to its platform. They had to vote three times to do it – and they had to lie to deem it passed, even though it was clear that the measure did not pass a voice vote in the chamber. The original 2012 Democratic Party platform had excised all mention of God and Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel.
Means, I justify thee. Ends
There were widespread boos in the convention hall to the renewed inclusion of God and language about Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Sooth at 7;45, great choice! One of the greatest written pop songs of its era. Everything about that one is just fine!
And when it comes to intransigent, unintelligent Republicans, no we can not!
But here is to them and their LONG SHOT hopes and changes (LOL!) in November…

Fred,
I posted that on Facebook, and one of my conservative friends said she wasn’t amused.

Well not to be Devils Advocate, but you aren’t amused by BADAss BING’s humor………….

If only Redneck Convert was here, he could help us make sense of all of this.
Tonight’s Wednesday. Why, I’ll bet he’s down to the Church of Holiness listening to the Rev. Postlewaite rail against contraception and gays and “illegals.” What do you think!
Well, tonight the topic was the evils of birth control. The Rev. Postlewaite told us all there was a easy way to keep women from having kids and we all knew what it was. It sure escaped me, unless . . . naw, he wouldn’t be saying we shouldn’t . . . naw . . .
Anyhow, he let us go a half a hour early tonight. Said he wasn’t feeling too good. I looked at Jim Earl and we both knew what was bothering him. He didn’t want to miss any of the Giants-Cowboys game.
As for making sense of things for folks, I got to admit I ain’t made sense of much of anything ever since I found out as a kid that women had to set down to pee. So you’re kinda SOL there, Sooth.
Anyhow, I got to get my case of PBR out of the Fridgidaire and some pork rinds from the kitchen cabinet. I have to keep them there so old Ace won’t get into them. Just 3 minutes till the game comes on. Have a good night everybody.
