Page 11 - Republicans Cannot News Today

At the relationship between tip oneill and ronald reagan.greed things, but worked together and were able to produce results. its a shame when the speaker of the house suggests that the president ought not work with elected representatives of the people because they are no a different party than the one he leads. thats not the direction we should be going and its not going to produce results. theyve proven that by themselves, left to their own devices, the republicans cannot pass a health care bi...

The 2016 primary debates. im going to say its about time the rnc does something that the grass roots can cheer. republicans cannot force the media to be more even handed. but they also arent under the obligation to help them elect more democrats. i wish more people in the g.o.p. leadership realized that most news outlets are run by people who dislike conservatives and want to elect liberals thats the memo. now on to the top story. the terror threats that have forced the closings of 19 u.s. embas...

After the election when negotiations over the debt ceiling were happening, the president won and lost the incentive on republican terms. the white house made an incorrect assumption that republicans would save and negotiated a limited deal with the expiring tax cuts. lending the sequester and increasing the debt ceiling later. again, it was a miscalculation. the escape act that saved the day during the fiscal cliff fight is not there right now. heres why. one of the congressional bodies that dem...

Of the top priorities, weve seen kind of a bit of a fracturing within the republican party over immigration reform, specifically the path to zin, but obviously some other issues. is that going to create leverage for the president, an ability to pick off different members to get something done or is that going to make it harder to get legislation through. >> this is what we call a wedge issue. the democrats know this and the smart republicans know this. the republicans cannot, will not win. they ...

I wouldnt actually do that. but the broader point here, as joy was making, this is the default position of the republican party right now. and lets just remind people, when were talking about personhood amendments, like what was on the ballot in mississippi and was defeated han diddly, that is giving the rights of a person to a fertilized egg, and it will not surprise you to learn that while it is mainstream public opinion within the republican house caucus, it is a fringe belief that that shoul...

Them the election this fall. why? because 228 out of 240 house republicans voted for the very same policy they are now afraid to embrace. during a conference call yesterday, boehner reportedly told them, "the pundits are buzzing that with paul on the ticket the democrats are going to attack us on medicare. well, heres a news flash. they were going to do that anyway. the best defense on medicare is a good offense. and paul ryan gives us the ability to play offense." vice president biden agrees. r...

Bushes were elected because dems portrayed them soft on the gulf war. to supporters obama has destroyed that image. despite thanks to a steadfast disapproval of the iraq war, obama has shown himself to be a hawk, killing bin laden, aggressively hunting terrorists around the war. this is the first election in decades where the republicans cannot easily use foreign policy against the democrat. the challenge for bottom on foreign policy its different. bill clintons generation had come to take it fo...
