There is no mandate for compromise with the Republicans

[MrScorpio]

Those assholes lost, even if they are loathe to admit it.

Their ideas were rejected by voters, we shouldn't stand idly by and watch their failed ideas get reanimated by politicians.

Look, Republicans have been wrong about just about EVERYTHING. Sifting through their positions in search of workable ideas is like sifting through manure in search for some jelly donuts.

Even if you found one in that pile you wouldn't want to eat it.

1. There is a mandate for them to work together and get things done

Medicare is solvent for 12 years. It is a real problem that needs to be dealt with now. We shouldn't rush to judgment. Can we please wait and see what they do before we lynch anyone?

2. The President and his yes men are the only Democrats I know who, after this election,

are eager to find 'common ground' with racist homophobic vote supressing thugs. He looks at Mitt and McCain and says 'let's be half way like them, to prove we can compromise' as if compromise was more important that excllence. ''We must not do the best we can if that means we can not find compromise, mediocrity is accepatable if Tom Coburn gives me that smile he has..."

4. Change the filibuster rules today and fill the Senate with progressive legislation

that will help the people.
Let the hateful assholes in the house stand in the way and everytime they do make a campaign commercial about how much they are hurting the people.
