#1 Why must republicans always "give" to "get something done"? Let the left give up something for a change.

#2 "We won." - Republicans

#3 Depends on the meaning of "get things done". Screw up health care? Mess up the economy? Kill jobs? Drive up energy prices? Maybe when it comes to "getting things done", less is more.

#6 In my adult lifetime Democrats have compromised exactly three times with Republicans.

-Clinton signing a Republican balanced budget

-Clinton signing a welfare reform bill

-Clinton signing NAFTA

Every other time, without exception, "compromise" has been defined as the center and right coming 95%-99% of the way towards the Democrat position. No exceptions. Thousands of bills and policy decisions.

When Republicans win, it's always talk about what they should give up. When Democrats win, they say the same. Heads we win, tails we lose. How very mature and "progressive".

You can go to hell, Mr. Brokaw.

#9 Considering the Dems will most likely have McConnell and Boehner instead of Cruz and Issa as leaders to work with I would say they already got enough.

#10 We'll give you firm opposition to the Democrats' statist agenda, in the shape of deregulation, the abolition of several agencies, and ending usurpation of powers by the executive and judicial branches.

Anything else we can help you with? how about voter IDs with swift punishment for fraud?

No need to bring Global Warming into this discussion.

#13 Give them a beat down. Let them come to the middle. Or better yet, not at all.

#19 If I'm not mistaken Seattle and LA are deep, deep, blue (and socialist). Don't know about Atlanta but I suspect it's pretty deep blue too.

In other words - if you would only do whatever we want we will get things done!

Problem is - with Mitch in there the Republicans might do just that - go along to get along.
