there are some bad people on the right

And by some, I mean of course, all.  This week could not be a clearer display of what Republicans stand for: 

Senate Republicans intend to block action on virtually all Democratic-backed legislation unrelated to tax cuts and government spending in the current postelection session of Congress, officials said Tuesday, adding that the leadership has quietly collected signatures on a letter pledging to carry out the strategy. 

Always remember that Republican's gripe is not that no one will get tax cuts, it's that incomes over $250,000 won't. 

 

And of course the flip side: 

Extended unemployment benefits for nearly 2 million Americans begin to run out Wednesday...

Hours before beefed-up benefits were set to expire at midnight on Tuesday, Democrats sought to extend them for another year. But they were blocked by Republican Senator Scott Brown, who said Democrats should have taken time to work out a compromise.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, POORS!!
