Does anyone in this country believe for one millisecond that if Republicans/conservatives held the Senate and the presidency, that they would feel obligated to compromise with the minority on anything? That idea make me roll on the floor laughing. As for the complaining, it makes Phillips’ comments difficult to take seriously when he and his conservative friends have done nothing but complain about this president since his first election. Now, his letter is more of the same: The FOX/Limbaugh echo chamber chorus whining because they don’t get their conservative way.

It’s the reverse-logic of it all that makes it comical. Can you imagine how much worse off middle-class America would be with a conservative majority? I’m thankful every day that they aren’t in charge. Vote against this conservative brand that is stifling America’s progress.
