I think every party likes to believe itself willing to compromise. Doesn't make it true.

That may be generally true, but the Republicans in the House and Senate* have seemed very proud of their written pledge not to compromise.

I think that they believe that it makes them look strong, rather than making them look like willing stooges of a Washington lobbyist.


*except the ones, if any, that refused to sign up for Grover Nysquist's pledge of non-compromise on raising taxes.

This article is just  :lol:.  Of course, WSJ editorials have been notorious for original interpretations of reality even long before William Randolph Hearst bought it.

It's not them. This is a reprint. The guy who wrote this is releasing a book on politics about hyper-partisanism or something like that, and this is a good way to make headlines and get on talk shows.

I don't think that Obama should even think about stepping aside while the Republican Candidates are suitably Batshit. I still don't know which Republican candidate is supposed to beat him?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Haven't they shown Romney currently winning in a match up?

You can't reach out to the Republicans, it's a lost cause.

You used to deny it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah this. I don't think he is the best theoretically possible candidate to deal with the sinkage of of US politics into 3rd world standards, but looking from here he appears to be way better at anything than the ridicioulous lineup of the GOP.

Except for Ron Paul of course. Ron Paul for Prez! :wub:

Well, no

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html

Obama seems to win most polls against Romney, and that is before the Republican At(ea)tack dogs go after Romney.


BTW, when googling "obama vs romney" google suggested "obama vs zombies"

if anything this looks just like the republican debates

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."

I did a search on google and many places are showing some level of parity between the two. With at different points in time - Mitt actually being a head.
