The Art of Governing in Reverse

I keep hearing the Republican Party candidates talk about the need to win the next election so that they can repeal health care, repeal environmental regulations, repeal the new banking laws, repeal abortion rights.

what eye thynk:  Whatever happened to moving forward?  This isn't about Democrat/Republican government gridlock; this is about an apparent total lack of Republican forward thinking...an inability to do anything but obsess about changing what exists into something that used to be. 

I'm not so naive as to think that in the past the losing party on any issue walked away smiling broadly and congratulating the victors; but it seems that the recent Republican response to losing any vote has been "we've got to begin the process to reverse this immediately!".  How can we expect to move forward as a country when so many of the people we have elected to lead are facing the wrong way?
