""So it involves compromise--and horsetrading (if only among Democrats.) This is not new--ever heard of "logrolling"? The poster's attitude sounds like a wonderful example of the problem cited in the "Friends Like This" thread. Compromise may well be necessary--it's called politics--and accomplishing something. Doesn't seem to be a main goal here below the line.""
You might not be aware of this Ron, but compromise is supposed to be a two way street.
You know! Each side gives a little and you get to where both are reasonably happy.
Tell me Ron, can you show any single example of the repubs compromising on this, or any, Democrat initiative?
No, I didn't think so. Good, bad, or indifferent, makes no nevermind to the GOP. They just strangle it, the way they've strangled the economy, and the truth.
I can see it from 3000 miles away. Why can't you, when the smell is right under your nose?
