(25,699 posts)Of course, pragmatism necessitates compromise, right? Cutting where you have to to get what you need? 'Course, in the context of this discussion, the people we're going ot be cutting compromises with happen to be the Republicans. Looking at the rest of this blog, it seems the writer has some pretty strong opinions of the Republican party.
So. Who are you willing to cut out? 'Cause it's definitely a "who." In order to receive all these compromises, these sensible cuts, this lovely pragmatism with the Republicans, people are going to suffer.
So, mister pragmatist. Who's it going to be? Who gets sold down the river? The Republicans hate a lot of people, and your cause celebre seems to be offering those people out on a silver platter in the hopes of looking "bipartisan" and "rational" and achieving some baby step of progress through their unwilling sacrifice?
Give me a list of the people you feel are expendable, and what you expect to achieve by letting Republicans have their way with them. Be sure to not aim too high - you wouldn't want to look irrational, after all.
