I’m sure you already know, and their motive is as despicable as their tactics.
President Obama seems less and less inclined to cut Republicans slack of late, particularly in his weekly addresses. This morning’s remarks were no exception, as he patiently explained the origins of the problems with the Medicare formula for physician reimbursement, and the (until this year) agreement between both political parties in Congress to continue to defer cutting payments to doctors.
Guess who’s obstructing the by-now-routine deferral. Couldn’t be the Party of No, could it?…

Obama did a fine job of explaining this himself.
What possible reason could there be for the GOP to filibuster this extension that has been passed through bipartisanship for decades without contention? I find only one motive that works. If they can cause elderly people to suffer as a result of this GOP scheme, they can deceptively claim that it is the Health Care Reform bill causing the elderly to go without care. They don’t care who they hurt in their Machiavellian quest to regain power.
Every Republican in office is one Republicans too many!

How can people (Repubs?) be so heartless
It happens when ideology takes precedence over human need.
I agree that it’s wrong, but it’s what they do. Did Bush give a weekly address or was he too hungover from Saturday night? I sure as hell don’t remember one.
He used to, with an audience of one. Then Barney peed on his foot.
The Democrats are just as awful. We need a second political party.
I think some are, but not all, Lib. Would you rather have McConJob and Mooseolini in the White House?
We sould form a second party to the left to the Democrats after the demise of the GOP. Before then, the only effect would be to put the GOP back in power.
If there’s one word that sums up Republicans I think it would be consistent.
Consistently greedy
” lying
” deceptive
” manipulative
” Racist
” Egotistical
And most of all
Wrong
I would complete your list, but to do so would exhaust the supply of electricity in Portland. 😉
The Republicans spend far too much time pandering to and rewarding human greed, and wholly ignore or ridicule human need. They are a despicable lot.
That they are, Jack!
