    That republican in that video recognizes that republicans have squandered those victories they got in the last midterm elections and he sees the samething happening again unless republicans come with some real concrete alternatives to Obama or else they may loose some key elections this midterm.

    They don't have any... other than block anything anybody else comes up with.They have forgotten what they once stood for and would rather go all TeaParty/Libertarian on everybody.

    The Tea Party craze was lightening in a bottle and they started pandering to them in hopes of winning more elections while the iron was hot. Then like every shitty political movement the fad kind of faded and now the Republicans party is left with an identity crisis. So they can't offer any solutions because they don't know who they are or what they want.

    As if the democrats are any smarter. The fact is NO ONE has the solution. It's gonna take a lot of hard work for America get anywhere ahead of where it is now. Just like in the Great Depression.

    I know why they weren't voted on in the Senate. Because they were mostly based on trickle-down economics which we know doesn't work. Or they involved removing important regulations that keep our air, water, and food safe. Stuff like that. This kind of crap doesn't deserve to go anywhere, because it's totally designed to help billionaires/millionaires and no one else.

    Nope, many were actually apprioation bills that helped fund the government. The real party of NO is the democrats.

    By the way, Dems have more big donors then Republicans.

    Not only the Republicans don't know who they are and what they stand for, they also don't have an effective candidate for 2016. In Colorado it will be many years before voters elect a Republican for any position. The Republicans fought hard against the legalization of Weed in Colorado and the voters sent them a clear message about freedom and unwated police power. Also, by now every American voter understands that Reaganomics is about paying the American worker less money just so the big corporations can be able to compete on the global market, at the expense of working Americans. We are a lot better off without Republicans in positions of power.

    Right because the economy has never been better?

    Most of America still is against weed legalization.

    Also 2016 is 2 years away, this is why there are primaries. This time back in 2006 who was supposed to be the Dem nominee for President? Hillary, but then the disaster comes out of no where with his catch phrases and people bought the community organizers BS.

    Oh, they have solutions alright. Refer to:1893, 1929, and the last 14 years. Breaking unions and eliminating the right to collective bargaining, eliminating social security, precluding national healthcare, fascilitating the continuance of money going to the top away from those of us that do the ACTUAL work, the selling of the government to the likes of the Kochs (which has been successfully completed), more wars that enrich the military-industrial complex, etc, etc,etc. They're doing just fine with their ideas/solutions.

    No but the catch phrase that people like to point at Republicans for is far from the truth. When they are not included in Obamacare, when bills are not voted on what it is other then NO?
