Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) told reporters he’s “willing to work” with Democrats, but “they gotta tell us what they need.”

Rep.

So your party has put them into this position to paralyze the country. Now grow up and deal with your home-made problems yourself - like any responsible adult would do. After all, you like responsibility as a Republican, don’t you? Or is it suddenly all propaganda when truth and reality starts to hurt?
