Well, it's how government gets done. You think the stalling in Congress is bad now. Imagine if no one compromised...

Come on Griff...you know no party is safe from the Sycamore.

I made this comment to Dave last week, and while it's just my opinion, I stand by it: No "real" Republican would vote for the Republicans that are currently in there right now. I'm not saying that party principles can't change, but the Republicans in there right now come across to me as more like socialists than conservatives. And I think it underscores how the US government has tended to work better in the past 20 years when the executive and legislative branches are of different parties.
