Most See Republicans as Unwilling to Compromise


A new Washington Post/ABC News poll finds that nearly six in 10 Americans say the Republicans aren't doing enough to forge compromise with President Obama on important issues; more than four in 10 see Obama as doing too little to get GOP support.

In addition, nearly two-thirds of Americans say they want Congress to keep working to pass comprehensive health-care reform.

1. But will they vote for them in November?
If this is an indication of how they will vote, it does not look good for the GOP.

But I am sure that will not stop the M$M from telling a different story.

2. Obama needs to drive this point home
I don't know why he keeps pretending it's not true, especially when he acknowledges it behind closed doors.

5. He just had a press conference and did precisely that. He flat out
told the rethugs to stop obstructing.

Not us political junkies but the general casual-politics watching public.

Keep shining the light on these shits - make them pay for their conscious decision to sabotage our government. The tide is turning.

6. Most are correct
Both in their appraisal of the repugs as the 'party of no' and in their desire to see REAL healthcare reform. I realize that it's currently fashionable to portray the entire electorate as a bunch of low-info rubes - and that's the way the repugs want us (stupid and gullible) - but it's time to give credit to a growing segment who are attempting to educate themselves beyond what the talking heads of the corporate media deem as important.
