Jeff Santos speaks with Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC.
Congressman Ellison talks about how the Roadblock Republicans don't have the interests of the American people at heart: "To them ruining government works - either they get what they want or they demonstrate that government can't work, and either way they think they win 'cause they lower government in the esteem of the American people - then blame it all on Democrats!" He says the Democrats need to run an agenda without worrying about the GOP. "Bipartisanship is a fine thing," he says, "but it's low on the list.
