Well, I suppose if Nancy Pelosi actually wants to accomplish something as Speaker of the House, she will have to abandon the liberal agenda and learn how to compromise. It's a choice politicians have to make - they can stick to a pure ideology and make a lot of noise and accomplish nothing; or they can negotiate respectfully with the other people in the room, and hammer out something that satisfies at least some of the goals they'd like to accomplish.
It's a case of reality vs. ideology. In the long run, ideology always loses. Perhaps it's better to adopt a new way of thinking, one that considers the needs and ideals of others as much as it values one's own philosophy.
