Republicans Continue to Push for the Bipartisanship Big Mistake: Senator John Cornyn Asks for Obama to Work With Us

Once again the tone of bipartisanship comes from Republican lips. After getting shut out of committee meetings on the healthcare debate, the Republicans want to open the doors for Democrats and Obama. This is a big mistake. Gridlock would be better than making concessions and compromises with left wing Democrats. Gridlock is good. Compromises with Obama bad.

Here's Senator John Cornyn's invite to Obama to work together.

"I think here's a chance not only for the nation to make a midcourse correction, but for President Obama, as well," Senator John Cornyn said. "If he'll work with us on those issues-like getting Americans back to work, cutting spending and debt, then I think he'll find a more-than-willing partner in the GOP."

However, the Texas senator also had a stern warning for the president from GOP incumbents.

"If he's going to continue to not listen to the American people and lecture them and tell them what he thinks is good for them despite their wishes, then I think we're in for a pretty tough period," Cornyn said. "And the electorate will cast their judgment for 2012."

"I think health care was, perhaps, the metaphor for what people find is so wrong with Washington these days," the senator continued. "Government doesn't listen, and it continues to spend money we don't have and borrow it from other programs like Medicare, which are already on a fiscally unsustainable path, and you get something that actually doesn't fix the problem, it makes it worse-higher premiums, higher taxes, and more raids on the Medicare trust fund."
