Rank obstructionism

Lead Republican obstructionist Mitch McConnell on his block-everything-strategy:

"It was absolutely critical that everybody be together because if the proponents of the bill were able to say it was bipartisan, it tended to convey to the public that this is O.K., they must have figured it out," Mr. McConnell said about the health legislation in an interview, suggesting that even minimal Republican support could sway the public. "It's either bipartisan or it isn't."

The media should keep this quote in mind next time McConnell whines about the Dems going it alone.

On the larger point of Republican obstructionism, it continues to amaze me that more Obama supporters aren't absolutely outraged that the Republicans have basically nullified their vote and, in turn, their voice. Procedural maneuvers would be unnecessary if Republicans only respected democracy.
