Obama "Open to Compromise"....

[sabrina 1]

38. Can you show us someone on the Repub side who is talking about compromise right now?

And even more importantly, when over the past four years, did Republicans return the favor to this President?

I see no reason for him to even mention this right now. It appears weak. He should simply say that he will try to work with Republicans in the best interests of the country and he hopes that having lost seats in Congress and in the Senate, that over his next term they have learned that this is what the people want THEM to do.

We've been down this road before, and here are the 'just be quiet' crowd again. I thought that was just while 'there is an election coming up'?

Just when do Progressives, the forgotten wing of this party, the wing that was constantly told to STFU, the wing that gets Democrats elected, the wing that was told their 'ideas are retarded' etc etc. The Wing that had zero representation at the table during the HC debates.

Just when will it be okay for them to finally speak up? For two years the excuse for silencing them was 'we have an election coming up'. What possible excuse is there now?

I knew this would happen. I knew that it never was about the 'election coming up'. I knew it was to protect our team from any criticism no matter what they do. Well sorry about that. We are not lock step Republicans and the ONLY reason we got rid of DADT eg, was because we DID speak up. We wrote , we called, we emailed and we threatened all the while being told to STFU.

You get what you deserve, what you fight for in politics. And every Liberal Group and the major Unions are now forming a huge coalition to make sure that Progressives are not sidelined in this party any more, to begin the work, OUR work, of bringing this party BACK from the right leaning, third and lost way it has been taking for the past several decades.
