Is There Any Chance Christie Did NOT Know About the Dirty Tricks?

Nobody cares, because America is suffering from a lack of leadership and the D/R blame game has lost its ability to divert our attention from this truth. If the R's want the White House they best come up with some ideas on how to move America forwards. Same for the D's. SO far nothing of value is coming out of Washington, from either party.

All due respect...I look at it as the GOP being a blocking agent of a do-nothing legislative branch...how can you blame Obama?

Obama miscalculated, again..... this is all about Obama's failings not the D's in general.

Did you see where Gates says that Biden has a solid record of being wrong 100% of the time?

Not having passed any legislation for six straight years will always be catastrophic for a party in charge of the White House.

It was certainly his decision to blow every last bit of his political capital trying to mount a charge against an unassailable NRA position, but that won't stop the consequences from dragging down the Democrats in 2016.

I can't believe you're so ignorant that you get the executive and legislative branches confused...and I'm not saying that with disrespect. I've seen you in some intelligent debates.
This is just not one of them

Not when there are many who want government smaller, want government to do less.

Not when there are many who can see that America is divided, and thus realize that Washington can not do much until and unless Americans come to some consensus as to what we want, and more importantly what we are willing to pay for.

Oralloy must be an Old White Man living off his stock dividends. The disconnect is awe-inspiring

no, because D's were not ever much for the fight, and only urban D's are in favor of stronger gun laws at all. THis was all Obama, and yes the drive was typical Obama idiocy, but the D's were not tarred because of it.

But that doesn't mean that the resulting lack of legislative achievements isn't going to harm the entire Democratic Party.

your only explanation as to why is " this is how it always goes", ignoring that these are not normal times. We are 7 years into a economic crisis that has blasted a hole through the American Dream, Washington has ground to a near halt and is populated almost exclusively with corrupt incompetents who spend most of their time on political games rather than the nations business, and we have lost most of the respect we once were shown by the rest of the world....do you not understand this?

I've got your back. Well, not monetarily, but re the rest of it.

You really are clueless.
