Why is everyone up in arms about working together. Of course we can and we should work together. . . as long as the socialist rats realize that obamanation is going to end and sanity and conservation of our economy/culture/constitution is to return. As long as the rats cooperate with the coming status quo we can get along just dandy!!!
Hell no! Make sure Lindsey “The Homo” Graham get’s that memo.
In-your-face closed door meetings! We have no common ground with commies.

Why should they? How about after all the Progressives are investigated and charged if anything is found...
Let’s clean house, convict the guilty and fix the country!
Let’s face it...we can’t hurt the country if they spend the next two years investigating and now signing anymore spending bills!!!
NO.
Since this is a “post partisan nation”, there is no need to do so...
YES - If the Republican wants to ensure he only serves one term.
