Until I'm proven wrong, I don't see the Democrats as being an "opposition" party. To become that, they would have to have a fundamental change in their outlook towards government. They are a "compromise" party.

So go ahead Dems, prove me wrong because we certainly could USE a true "opposition" party that's actually in a position in government to "oppose" rather than "compromise".
