Your Thoughts?

We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while Democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. “This is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators. When Democrats start paying our armed forces and first responders we will reopen negotiations on immigration reform.”

So, when negotiating something, does each party in the negotiation not have a responsibility to negotiate over that which the other party finds important? Would it not seem that saying "We will not negotiate" on (insert subject) mean that you are being an obstructionist? If so, who then is to blame for failure of the negotiations - the one who wants to negotiate, or the one who does not want to negotiate?

You didnt write this when the Republicans were blocking Obama.
So this thread is a bunch of horse manure. ☺

@Zonuss I see your response took lots of thought... or not.

@frequentlyme Sure it did. It amazes me how insecure you Neo Cons are in the post era of the first black president. I give both presidents credit because I want out country to prosper and thrive. I am a Liberal, and I believe in the Almighty. You dont understand the importance of unity, so you fixate on divisiveness, and rhetoric. My ideology is about humanity and equality. I vote across party lines, and I support justice for all mankind.
Now chew on that.

@Zonuss Chew on what? That you jump to conclusions? Okay, I get it, you put your mouth in motion before you put your mind in gear. Where did I say or even imply that I'm against humanity, justice, for one party or another, or anything you stated as fact? I don't know you, but I must say your words paint you as single minded, and as or more divisive as those you point fingers at. Try fewer labels and use words that mean something, not, as you say, rhetoric.

@frequentlyme If I have jumped to conclusions than I apologize.
I just wanted to see where you stood sir. ☺

@Zonuss I stand solidly on the side of what is right, decent, and supports what I believe to be our founding ethos, The Declaration of Independence, and in particular the passage: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." This, when I question anything, is what I think of.
