Everyone that blasts our Democratic but hair-thin majority needs to read this. Politics is the art of compromise, that's the way it (still) works in this country (although it was hard times from 02 - 06). Always has, always will.

My argument for the last year has been that the main purpose of this congress is to 1) stop any further damage that might be done to the country during Bush's last 2 lame duck years (and there was a ton of stuff that will not get done for Bush and the GOP now) and 2) stop the war if possible then 3) keep the GOP's agenda at bay the best you can until 4) we elect a Democratic president and we can truly control the agenda.
