Lindsey Graham: If Obama defeats GOP obstructionism on health care, the GOP will obstruct even more!

Apparently President Obama and Congressional Republicans are interested in reforming the nation’s immigration system. Time for some bipartisan agreement! Well, yes and no:

(Lindsey) Graham, in a statement, said he had told Mr. Obama “in no uncertain terms” that the immigration debate “could come to a halt for the year” if the president moved to pass health care legislation by a method known as reconciliation, which requires a majority of 51 senators instead of 60 and would in practice require no Republican votes.

And Graham is one of the reasonable Republican senators, supposedly. But the GOP has apparently never heard of “you win some, you lose some.” They either win everything, or they shut down the system — even on areas where they disagree with Democrats. It’s a good way to attract votes, I suppose, but a damn poor way to actually get stuff done for the American people.
