So much for President Obama’s call, in the wake of last month’s election, to have “an honest and civil debate about the choices that we face.”

Earlier this afternoon, Sen. Robert Menendez, discussing negotiations with Republicans on tax cuts, said:

“Do you allow yourself to be held hostage and get something done for the sake of getting something done, when in fact it might be perverse in its ultimate results? It’s almost like the question of do you negotiate with terrorists,” Menendez said when asked whether he and other Democrats would accept a compromise with Republicans.

Matthew 23:4. Obviously the Truth will out.

Dear Sen.: Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Ahh, the Dims' last pathetic flailings before they get shoved out of the way come January ...

Perhaps we could compare Senator M. to an undercooked bratwurst served with warm beer and lacking any peppers or onions.

We are getting close the point where the best strategy might be to cede the airwaves to democrats and let them speak non-stop. These people are destroying themselves and there's nothing we can do to accelerate their demise in any way I can imagine, such is the depths of silliness being plumbed by the American left.

It is the Democrats who are domestic terrorists [which subversively infiltrate a country, take control of its government and press/media, begin imposing/dictating governmental mandates upon its population, use its captured media to harass and intimidate it citizens, impose excessive taxiation upon its payors based on a wealth basis,etc]!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the GOP exercising new 'vigor' expressed by backing from the electorate, concomitant with the rejection of the Democrat entrenched modus operandi by the electorate, the donkey bitterness bites - DEEP.
