Dennis Kucinich said all these nice things about Ron Paul.

49. And I am telling you the "moderates" are center right, to right

They are no moderates. This is why we have no compromise.

I have no issues with it but when the negotiating position starts fairly close to the "left" of the Republican party and not where the country is...that's what annoys people.

This is not compromise, and in fact has encouraged worst behaviors from republicans and is a leading cause to the current dysfunction. The other leading cause is the hard core republican know nothing hard headeness. Who is ahead on this really does not matter... They are both responsible.

Sorry if I do not see this as sports and cannot reach for pom poms.

Now in the very recent past, now that far right aides have left, and real pressure from the streets is coming, we are seeing them pull left...question is if our center right so-called moderates will follow? Regardless, it is too late for compromise this session...hopefully next congress will get that lesson, and the POTUS gets a class on negotiating 101.

If not...well, let the dysfunction continue...it's not unusual in failing empires anyway. It's just regular folk who get to suffer. And on this department the problem is when both parties are coopted by business interests. But the R's still get the lions share. But both share in the dysfunction.

Look I despise Ron with the rest of them, but compromise should be encouraged...why a few of us take issue with the daily attack on dems by the op, and in this case for something that is essential. Boggles the mind.
