GOP leaders have a new complaint about President Obama: He's not reaching out to them nearly as much as he did earlier this year, when he road-tested his pledge of post-partisanship, only to get uniformly rebuffed on his first big legislative initiative.

Bennet Kelley: The GOP's Road to Perdition

Even life-long Republicans like Waldport and Oregon Mayor Herman Welch have left the party, citing the Beltway's Republicans placing of "worn out ideology," over the interests of the country.

Dan Siegel: Calling Mr. Smith, Not Mr. Rogers

We are starved for a leader who can express righteous indignation against the corrupt forces who have emptied the public purse while bidding for the powers that be.

This is the most stupid bunch of excuses for adults I have ever seen. Obama warned them that he would not continue to court them if they kept voting NO for everything. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

They remind me of 2 year old. A 5 year old would be a big stretch.

I would have never wooed you to begin with.

If it were me, I would have pissed on your head and told you to enjoy the "trickle down."

It takes two to tango Eric. Maybe if the Republicans come up with some positive ideas you can re-engage the President. Playing hard to get obviously hasn't worked.

Did he try? Did you emphatically tell him to get lost? Do you expect him to ask you again?

With health care costs so high, and many people delaying care... I can offer some free medical advice.

If you ever need to amputate your hand, reach out to Republicans.

Just wondering, why would you change the words from Republicans complain to Republicans whine?
The AP used Republicans complain and the Post uses whine is the title.

Have you ever read Republicans posting in the comments? They don't complain.... They whine.

Like one of my kids who is continually disagreeing with my request by touting his firm NO stance, he is in a time out, such can be said for the GOP or the party of NO ! Deal with it and grow the hell up.
