On the cusp of angry and "really pissed off"? [View all]

I do understand.

In the last election, people voted for Barack Obama over the Republicans because they did not agree with the Republican agenda. Barack Obama got over 5 million more votes than Mitt Romney.

They voted for the Republicans to compromise with Barack Obama and the Democrats. If they had wanted the Republican agenda, they would have voted for Mitt Romney.

Republicans believe "compromise" is a dirty word. In fact, John Boehner refused to even say the word in a interview with CBS. It is not in their vocabulary.

Voters do not go to the polls in order to vote someone in that can compromise with the losers, especially when the losers refuse to compromise on anything.

So it is understandable that people are angry and are on the verge of getting really pissed off...
