Reply #110: In US Politics, without Compromise, there is nothing

[Sheepshank]

In the Senate, a majority doesn't win. How many times to we have to see a bill fail because the minority won on the "no" vote?

Gawd, not understanding this basic concept is getting too stupid here. I take that back, for many it's not a misunderstanding at all, it's well understood misrepresented premise here by some who have a different purpose for posting here, than an honest progressive one. Clearly, this is not about the right to dissent and still be a progressive, this is about those who have a very different agenda in mind than making sure the GOP stay out of the Whitehouse.

Don't like the word compromise?...then grow up. This is not the sandbox where the bully takes all. Compromise happens during a negotiation. Something that grown ups do. The bills we get passed were negotiated so the minority can't hold it back or kill it completely. To wish that Obama was the type of dictator that could get all that he wanted is so pathetically naive. We know what he was shooting toward via his platform. We know what he got via Rep hold out. For those that want a dictator and hope that dictator values are identical to their own, move to N Korea, see how you like them apples.
