I just don't see a lot of realism in the Republican agenda. At least Obama campaigned on some issues like health care reform and actually followed through on what he promised.
What did Republicans campaign on? Shrinking government - well OK - but they instantly scaled back their goals on that to 1/4 of what they said they would, and remains to be seen if they will even achieve that.
And repealing health care is all show. What's left?
