In 2016, the people can judge the outcome:
Should the GOP be the governing party?
Should the GOP be an actual opposition party? (In other words: compromise is bad).
Should the GOP go away because the Democrats have given us Utopia?
The people need to SEE what the end result of left-wing policies really is.
Why should Republicans want to make deals with Democrats, who will only corrupt the process anyway, once they get some kind of agreement.
New tax rates and taxation applied to services and goods not now taxed, in exchange for future reductions in Federal expenditures? First of all, the reduction in Federal spending is never anywhere near the original amount offered, and secondly, there is always some particularly urgent reason why the “spending cuts” will not be implemented.
Probably a good time for the Republicans, particularly in the Senate, to “go John Galt”.
Show up at the legislative meetings, offer no amendments or floor debates, vote “present”, and go home
Over in the House of Representatives, the Republicans continue to propose, shape and pass legislation which is of the sort that would REVERSE most of the agenda passed by the Democrat-dominated House and Senate in the period January 2009 to January 2011.
Gridlock is not necessarily a bad thing.
