If you look at the political landscape honestly, you will find people on both sides who are capable of compromise. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be leaders on either side who understand it.

Your wording itself is telling. While it may not have been intentional on your part, the concept of "Perhaps now we can introduce compromise into their lexicon." conveys an image of the person who thinks himself the superior imposing his vocabulary on the one he thinks inferior.

If both sides seek to understand compromise together there is the possibility of success. If one side seeks to impose compromise on the other (as your sentence construction suggests), it will be an exercise in futility for both.

Yes you are right. I do feel superior but that is only because I am.

In your eyes perhaps, in the eyes of others: well you figure it out.

And maybe the presidential candidate that won the 2008 election will actually show up this time.

Instead we got an empty suit with an excessive ego and no people skills. Someone who lectured and didn't listen.

What part of "compromise" is "they all gotta sit in the back of the bus, we be drivin' it now"? What part of compromise is shutting the other party out completely in writing a bill?

Kit, I'm going to let you in on something. "let's compromise and do it my way" is a JOKE. Not a definition in the dictionary.

Maybe you would like to cry some. Here it is 2012 - Obama still in office and the North American Treaty is still with us. It's his baby now and he is for it.

handgunner - you expressed very nicely why I am and have been afraid of this president. I'm 76, registered republican and this is the president I have been afraid of.

Second point - my observation is that . for Democrates, compromise is "you do it our way"; we'll never do it your way

When a political party is so successful in alienating large parts of the population - other than old white males - how can they expect to win elections. You know, it helps if you don't piss off all the women in the country. Even conservative talk show host Boortz talked about this this morning:

Quote:
Thanks, Too, To The Abortocentrists

By Neal Boortz

The Republicans lost any hope of regaining control in the Senate the minute that Republican men decided to open their traps and make idiotic comments about something that will never, ever affect them: abortion. Todd Akin (Missouri), Richard Mourdock (Indiana) and John Koster (Washington) … these MEN – and I want to emphasize their gender here – can take great pride for the role they played in handing g Obama a victory yesterday. Let’s see, we have Aiken with is brilliant comments on how a woman’s body has a way of shutting down the pregnancy mechanisms during a rape. We have Mourdock telling us that if a rape results in pregnancy it’s actually a gift from God, and we have Koster – a minor player, yes, but who cost female votes nonetheless – who said he (again, a MALE) opposed abortion in all cases except for the “rape thing.” These fools took what was arguably a woman’s greatest fear – rape at the hands of a violent stranger – and turned it into a treatise on the wonders of a women’s reproductive system knowing the difference between horrid violence and passion; a gift from God, or just a “thing.” Their brain-dead comments on abortion managed to push even more women into Obama’s column. All three of these fools lost. Mourdock and Aiken should have won. They were favored until their abortocentrism came through. These were two Senate seats that could have a made a difference. This election was close … and I guess we’ll never know how much damage they did. We do know, though, that it didn’t help one bit. These three obsessed men didn’t gain one single vote for themselves or for Romney. Not that it matters any more --- not that there’s going to be any real chance of turning things around in four years --- but the Republican Party is not doing itself any favors by catering to fools like this. If this Party wants to get serious about winning, it needs to find a way to appeal to women and get rid of this obsession over abortion. Abortion will NEVER be illegal. All you’re doing is chasing away voters. Period. The end.

I'll agree that those men made idiotic comments. They were ignorant comments beyond the fact that they provided sound bite gold to those that would build LIE upon LIE on top of them for partisan gain.

BUT which party is obsessed with abortion? Really? Who spent to most time talking about abortion and birth control? Which party spent the most time talking about abortion at their convention? Maybe the party with nothing else to campaign on. Maybe the party that concocted the LIE that the Republicans want to eliminate birth control. Even a few fellow UHH'ers fell for it and repeated it here but could not provide any proof because it WASN'T TRUE. Maybe you fact check your own side's propaganda.

Not that is matters to you. One of your leaders/spokespeople Debbie Whatshername Schultz said "It doesn't matter" when confronted about a lie the Democrats put out during the election. The surprising part is that it was a non-Fox reporter that called her on it.

Who wins the elections? Those who lie the most and promise the most free stuff to an ignorant electorate.

I didn't and normally don't. Usually it takes an NPR fundraising drive to get me to listen to him.


What does that mean, precisely?

Yes! Cry for happy. Overwhelming victory.

I cannot understand what happened to Florida again, though. Maybe the governor is putting something into our drinking water? Or, just trying to make voting difficult by not devoting the appropriate amount of resources, since his other tricks didn't all work. He did shorten the number of days people could vote, however.

For the first time in my life, I put both money and time into supporting a political campaign.

Cry for happy.
