What Republicans have done in my view is that they are systematically dismantling a sense of community in America.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My Republican friends are lamenting reconciliation. But I would recommend for them to go back and look at history.
Reforming public education, cutting property taxes, fixing adult and child protective services and funding our budget can all occur when Democrats and Republicans engage in consensus and cooperation - not cynicism and combat.
The Republicans have a very traditional focus over and over again whether or not it's worked.
We're doing exactly what the Republicans don't want: getting more people involved in our democracy. Giving more Americans a voice in their future.
Republicans have been very successful. There are three things Americans don't like: big unions, big government and big corporations. So Republicans go after big government and big unions, and only talk about small businesses.
Historically, the Republicans have been geniuses at throwing away advantages.
Hopefully, at some point, people will at least credit the Republicans with carrying out their oversight responsibilities and with pursuing a principled course of action even in the face of everyone's short-attention spans.
Republicans like to indict Democrats as anti-corporate zealots.
Republicans are listening to America's job creators and working to address their concerns with real solutions.
You turn on the TV, and you hear all these guys: 'Republican Party in disarray. Turmoil in Washington.' I don't think that's the case.
