*** Liberals will propose a ten percent tax increase, and Republicans will settle for five, the very number Democrats hoped to get. It might take Liberals longer to get to their goal, but they know that eventually they’ll reach it. They can always count on Republicans to compromise.***
***What’s true on taxes also applies to religion. There’s a provision in the health care law which requires religious employers to provide insurance coverage for contraceptives. John Boehner called the rule “an unambiguous attack on religious freedom in our country.***
I fully expect to see 1,000 standing in the middle of the Pacific Coast Highway simultaneously taking a dump before I see a Republican compromise on anything. When the black President is gone, no doubt they will compromise, but until then they will block, obfuscate and lie.

Do you not know that compromise is not going along with a "my way or the highway" declaration? I guess not. Maybe you should get down the trusty old dictionary.
Conservatives promise smaller government and what do they do when they run the white house, senate and house from 2002-2006? Increase spending and expand government powers more than anyone since LBJ. Then try to blame it all on Pelosi and Reid against all logic, truth, and reason.
What Bush did was the opposite of what makes since fiscally. I have no problem at all with cutting taxes. But you don't cut taxes AND INCREASE SPENDING MASSIVELY AT THE SAME TIME and expect good things for the budget. But that is exactly what Bush and the Republicans in congress did with very little objection by so called conservatives.

Well put. GOP fiscal policies have never, and will never work. All we see under them is insane spending, giveaways to the rich and their corporate cronies, and massive deficits. Yet their brainwashed goons keep defending them

Yep, Republicans are more conservative when they ain't in power.
This is the compromise the parties have made in the last decade, Democrats get their spending programs, Republicans get their tax cuts, our children and grandchildren get thrown to the lions.

Two words for you, "Grover Norquist"
You have a senate minority leader saying his top priority is making Obama a one term prez and a house leadership that has offered ZERO jobs bills.

President GW Bush kind of ruined any moral ground we had. He was probably the most reckless President we have had since LBJ. Republicans will be paying for that for a long time. It is hard to to preach to Democrats about fiscal irresponsibility after 4 years of Bush doing 2 wars, a new major entitlement program and tax cuts ALL UNPAID FOR. We have lost the moral high ground on that issue.
