Gridlock? The Republicans are responsible for all of that and do not have any plans of their own at the moment to do anything. What exactly do you think the Republicans plan to accomplish and what do you think they will accomplish? My guess will be nothing or next to nothing.
Good gravy, stop drinking the DU koolaid.
I think that the republicans should spend the next two years passing popular legislation that the democrats can't support. Make them go on record and then make Obama veto it. Spend two years turning the democrat label radioactive.
And approve no judges, appointees or treaties at all. Zero.
Very productive, I would say.
