One good reason Democrats should work with Republicans...?

...if a Republican wins the White House?

During these trying times, with the country in dire circumstances, Republicans took a vow not to do anything that might help this President win re-election, no matter if it was for the benefit of the country. Should I repeat that? No matter if it was for the benefit of the country.

They met behind closed doors and their Senate Leader declared that defeating Barack Obama was his number one priority. We have survived the last 4 years despite their strong resistance.

Now, if the shoe were on the other foot, why should the Democrats work with them? Give me one good reason.

Democrats find it very hard to sit back and let the country go down to the bowels of hell like the repulsive party........

DEMOCRATS CARE

They should take a very hard stand and not give in

that means he's got his eye on some money in the gov like the 3 trillion the Pentagon "lost" and he wants to give them another 3 trillion which they say they don't need. You can bet his nose smells money someplace. If anyone thinks he's above this, think again.

I don't understand why you defend those people like that. They openly stated their objective to destroy this country. They hate us.
