Once again, every Republican to appear on a Sunday talk show made it clear that above all else, they see their mission as saying "no" to President Obama's agenda.

Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with the minority party opposing the majority party -- but the fact that they are willing to use the Senate's filibuster rule to block progress on any of our nation's priorities is bad. And the fact that even so-called "moderate" Republicans like Scott Brown think Sarah Palin is presidential material is just plain crazy.
