mikes of waterville, ME House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to re-write House rules today to ensure that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation. Pelosi’s proposals are so draconian, and will so polarize the Capitol, that any thought President-elect Obama has of bipartisan cooperation will be rendered impossible before he even takes office.

In reaction, the House Republican leadership is sending a letter today to Pelosi to object to changes to House Rules this week that would bar Republicans from offering alternative bills, amendments to Democrat bills or even the guarantee of open debate accessible by motions to recommit for any piece of legislation during the entire 111th Congress.

So ends bipartiship and the republic.report abuse

Scrutinizer of Joe's Garage, ME Viva, you are correct in saying that you are not the only name caller in here, and that is why I ended my discussions with them as well. It is my opinion, when you move above the level of juvenile name calling, you are more likely to be taken seriously. Bad behavior does not excuse similar bad behavior.
My original point was that I will not give a politician, Obama included, my undying trust and loyality until he or she earns it. I stand by that belief. Obama's ability to remain charismatic while dodging hard questions is a quality that those with political aspirations would kill for. Perhaps his lack of experience will be a plus. We don't know, do we. Unlike the author of this OP-ED piece, I have hope but not blind hope. I am not afraid to stand on that belief.report abuse
