Just thought I'd point this out, because I keep reading and hearing GOP members say that a majority of Americans don't want reform and are happy as can be with the current system. A recent poll show that this is not true:
Poll: Bipartisanship popular, compromise tricky - Behind the Numbers
Further, "nearly six in 10 in the new poll say the Republicans aren't doing enough to forge compromise with President Obama on important issues; more than four in 10 see Obama as doing too little to get GOP support. Among independents, 56 percent see the Republicans in Congress as too unbending and 50 percent say so of the president; 28 percent of independents say both sides are doing too little to find agreement."
Seriously, while this obstructionism is doing great with the rank-and-file GOP members, it's not attracting the moderates the GOP needs if they want to win.
