[Vision2020] The Party of no?

[Scott Dredge]

GARY!!  You just don't get it.  You don't.  The Republicans are 'the party of no' because they don't embrace and push the agenda of President Obama who obviously has a mandate of the masses considering he was twice elected fairly and squarely (unlike George W. Bush who was appointed by the Republican controlled Supreme Court).
