K&R if you think we need HEALING now, not HATE
Now's not the time to take advantage of our electoral success; rather it's time to reach out to Republicans and meet them at least half way. They've been through a lot, they need reassurance that we can be trusted partners.
Who's with me!? Regards, Third-Way Manny

1. Sure we can reach out to them.

Then when they reach back we club them.

2. Yes ...
|
The time IS for healing and I never advocate for hate.
Yes, too, we need to follow President Obama's lead and continue reaching out. But, we can't meet them half way, if they are unwilling to budge. |

6. Definitely! Let's fire all cabinet heads and replace 'em with right-wing Republicans.
|
And for good measure, put Medicare and SS on the table, and promise no new taxes in return.
And if Republicans still are not convinced we are willing to meet them half way, we can get started on relaxing Obamacare provisions, starting with contraceptive coverage. If THAT doesn't work, President Obama can always just say, oh fuck it, and officially join the Republican Party. They stlll probably won't believe he's not Kenyan (or Muslim), but you just can't please some people. |

15. We need them to stop the hating so we can start the healing
|
That will only happen when they recognize that they are wrong. Their policies are wrong. No one believes them anymore. They have been proven wrong...they need to accept that.
Then they will stop hating on us, blaming us for everything, and will actually listen to our proven solutions. But since that won't happen, they need to be put in time out until they apologize for what they have done to our country. They have no valid arguments, nothing positive to add to the discussion, they are just whining and crying. |

You are stuck with Obama for the next 4+ years.
You might want to get busy on 2016. |

19. Perhaps a bold gesture of reconciliation ...
|
like nominating John Bolton for SecState or Robert Bork for the next Supreme Court vacancy or, I don't know, Chuck Hagel for SecDefense. Something like that might help.

20. Absolutely! Reach out ... with a straight right hand, followed by a left uppercut. Then ...

if they're still standing, kick 'em in the fucking crotch. My President tried to play nice for four years. How did they respond?
