Quit trying to make friends with the Republicans, man. They hate you. They are doing everything they can to destroy you. You HAVE been trying to deal with issues relevant to the nation as a whole (the economy, healthcare, national security) and STILL you are the target of obstructionist goons who want to drag us backwards.
Show some backbone, motherfucker! GET TOUGH! Quit giving olive branches to the swinebags who harbor nothing but contempt for you. You were not elected to 'bring the country together'. You were elected to advance a progressive agenda. Your constituency is not the whole country... the right-leaning scumbags have their own elected congressmen and senators. If they can't put enough of 'em in office to counter you, so be it.
Use your mandate, ram it down the squawking craws of those idiots who can't or won't understand that what you seek to accomplish will benefit them too. The rank and file Republicans are hit with the same outrageous healthcare costs, the same egregious banking fees, the same dwindling prospects, and STILL they kowtow to the idle rich's propaganda machine... they are dupes and idiots. Ignore them if they don't know what's good for them.
You've been a huge disappointment to your fans, man. You came in promising change. Instead, you've largely given us more of the same. I myself was never wooed by your promises. But millions of dedicated people who gave you their support, without reserve, are waiting for you to step up to the plate and champion the ideals you claimed to have.
So, FUCK the Republicans, FUCK the right wing, FUCK the FoxNews zombies. FIGHT! GET MEAN! Because ironically this is the only language the bastards appreciate. If you want THEIR respect, you're going to have to stop appeasing them and KICK THEIR ASS.
