I know we're supposed to be reaching across the aisle, forgetting the blue state/red state stuff....

[GreenPartyVoter]

but there is still a part of me that wants to tell all the freeps what they told us for so long:

[BuyingThyme]

1. Reach across the aisle?

Not me.

[Johonny]

2. screw reaching across the aisle

now is the time for liberals to vote every liberal idea they ever had into law. They should act like republicans for once and actual vote for the laws and society the people that voted for them want.

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. We'd need a very liberal congress and prez to pull that off.

[Tesha]

16. They won't do it, of course, even if the opportunity presents itself. (NT)

[OwnedByFerrets]

3. I'm not ready to make nice.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. I hear that

[No Elephants]

5. Obama is reaching. He has long arms. I'll try to catch up later.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. LOL

[Flying Dream Blues]

6. As my family member told me once, "You're the minority! You don't GET a voice! "

Not sure what History class SHE was in, but you get the picture.

7. May as well get it out of your system now. Many here are going to be royally pissed at Obama

because he will reach across the aisle, will not be vindictive and out to even up every old score. That's a sure way to open the door and eventually let the Republicans back in again as we wonder "how could that have ever happened?" Millions may be voting for Obama who are Republicans or normally voted Republican. You can either welcome them into the tent or spit in their faces. Simple choice.

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Oh, I know. But there is still a part of me that wants to be vindictive instead of

being the bigger person. Human nature.

[elocs]

11. Hey, that's only human. The important thing is that you know why you feel that way.

I want to see the Democratic Party in power for decades to come. We need to go through a period of national reconciliation and if they could do it in South Africa, we can do it here.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. True. And there is no doubt in my mind that Obama was the right guy

for the job at this time. (Sure he's to the right of me on many issues, but I can live with that.)

[NV Whino]

9. If I were to reach across the aisle,

it would be to slap a few repugs upside the head and say, "Listen up now!"

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. I know the feeling

[Doctor_J]

10. I look forward to Boner holding hearings in the basement

And the Dem Congress passing Medicare for Everyone with 1/2 hr debate.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. That would be nice, eh? Bet Obama won't allow it, though. He's a high road kinda guy.

[RedLetterRev]

17. I know it's wrong, but just for right now

the only reaching across the aisle I feel like doing is only enough to snatch their cheap toupées off and stomp on 'em.

That felt better. Now I can go on.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. LOL
