On immigration, GOP House majority stays the course and gets nothing done

What did I say earlier today about House conservatives not wanting to budge on immigration?  Now Sensenbrenner is rhetorically firing back at the Senate and Bush:

"He basically turned his back on provisions of the House-passed bill, alot of which we were requested to put in the bill by the White House,"Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., angrily told reporters in a conference call."That was last fall when we were drafting the bill, and now thepresident appears not to be interested in it at all."

From what transpired today, it is safe to say that President Bush's speech on Monday only encouraged House Republicans to give voters the best possible reason today as to why they don't belong in majority.  This hyper-partisanship has led to egotistical inaction at the highest levels of government to the point that Republicans are fighting amongst themselves and getting nothing done.  Democrats need to present themselves as a party that promotes cooperation and transparency.  They also need to explain to voters that America has been through too much divisiveness to continue staying the course on the road that leads to more inaction.
