I would say, as a conservative, I guess (I'm not really that conservative compared to most that live around me) that the reason the right is afraid of agreeing with anything that Obama pushes is that they fear the give an inch, take a mile concept will come into play. If they give him one thing, he may run wild with the rest. I'm not saying I agree with that logically, but it has run across my mind from time to time. If it runs across my mind, it must run across others as well.
Is that rational? Of course not! And I don't think that is the case, but it's just something I'm tossing out there.
