Our parties need to do what's RIGHT for our country, and find agreement.
Find ways to come to a compromise with each other.
Both parties get something, and both give up something.


This "my way or the highway", "glad to negotiate AFTER I get everything I want" stuff,
is old, tired, and just plain dumb, before it even starts.
Both parties... long ago... negotiated, compromised, and signed off on legislative agreements.
Both parties got something and both gave up something.

In this time of the government's calendar of proceedings,
your proposal to "negotiate" and/or "compromise" is just another way of echoing the GOP antecedent: "my way or the highway".

It's probably moot now because the GOP is desperately looking
for a face-saving way out of the mess they created at the end of September.

I suspect that Obama will be gracious enough to give it to them.
