Republicans don’t have best interests in mind

We need to get rid of this idea of bipartisanship. Peace in the Middle East is more likely than bipartisanship. Republicans don't have the best interests of the people or the country in mind. It's all about partisan bickering, politics and pleasing Rush Limbaugh.

Conservatives really upset me. They say they want less intrusive government but yet want laws to force government control into our personal lives regarding women's reproductive choices and who we marry.

I watch conservative congressmen wail about the budget deficits we are putting on our children's credit card. These are the same people who had no qualms about eliminating the budget surplus we had in 2001 and passing the Bush tax cuts that benefited mainly the rich, and put the budget back in deficit. Apparently it was OK if our kids paid for that, but not for health care reform.
