Republicans have "compromised" on nothing.

They have only made demands. Can anyone name one issue where they have compromised? Their idea of compromise is when they only demand half as much. In fact, "compromise" is not a word in their vocabulary.

1. That can't be true--Paul Ryan was quoted on NPR about how much the Repubs have been "flexible"

and "compromising" through this whole dealie.

2. Right!

I think the Democrats should demand a 70% tax rate on the wealthy. But they could compromise at 50% top rate. Is that not similar to what the Repubs are doing?

3. That's why the center has moved so far to the right.

To the point that the Democratic Party is the party of Reagan and the Republicans are straight up John Birch.

Still though, the time for us to play that game was 2009 and we still moved their way instead of making them move to the left.

4. On 60 Minutes, I think it was, a reporter was interviewing some Republican, and he REFUSED

to allow the word "compromise" to be applied to him in any way.

Kentuck, you are totally right about Republicans and compromise.
