(42,770 posts)all that BS - how both sides should listen to each and compromise.
That only works in a world where things are the way things used to be. They neglect to mention that to compromise you have to have a common goal.
In the past, Republicans wanted the same thing. It was a given. It was just in the details. Under Eisenhower - everyone wanted to help the poor, for instance. It was just a matter of how much and in what way. Our crisis today is that they don't even WANT to help the poor. In other words - we don't have the same ultimate goals. The biggest elephant in the room is that they are allowed to get away with ACTING like they want good healthcare for all. Bottom line, what is pissing them off is making sure that we don't help less fortunate people.
