Pathetic

If this wasn't so pathetic it would be funny.

Republicans have been thoroughly obstructionist in Congress thinking this gives them an advantage in the upcoming election. They've perfected the art of stopping legislation through the "F" word (funny, you never hear about the "F" word in the media anymore) such that when legislation on the Alternative Minimum Tax was proposed, they blocked it ..... even though Democrats had acquiesced (another pathetic trend) to all the GOP's demands.
