Senate GOP Now Seeks to Divide Democrats

[DonViejo]

“With the Department of Homeland Security standoff in the rearview mirror, Senate Republicans are going on offense with proposals that divide Democrats such as an Iran oversight bill and trade legislation,” The Hill reports.

“Senate Republicans are desperate to show they can govern after they largely wasted February haggling over a DHS funding bill without winning any of the concessions they hoped for on immigration. After battling among themselves for weeks, Republicans now want to put Democrats on the defensive by pushing issues that split Democratic centrists and liberals.”

1. By 'divide Democrats', they mean

peel off the Dems on the right of the party who like specific Republican policies, and will be willing to cross party lines and vote with Republicans.

2. Says a lot about how they "govern"

What are they actually DOING or planning to do that isn't in some way going after President Obama?

3. You knew this was McTurtle's plan from the get go.

Am sure there are some Dems whom feel they need to protect their Social Status above standing for principles or their constituents. Their was point on story over the weekend about how most of Mr. Obama's ex-aides are now or in the near future joining lobbying firms. Last I noticed was most of the retiring Politicians or for that part the ones whom lost their seats,are making more money at some lobby firm.

What we should do is start a list of which Democratic Senators are going to bail on Party Positions.
