Saying I'm willing to compromise as long as I get my way isn't really compromising.
My sincere honest belief on the current state of US politics is basically the Dems couldn't predict 5 o'clock at 4:30 and GOP could convince a bunch of people at 4:30 that 5 o'clock will never happen. I've read all I can stand to read about the Tea Party folks and their ideas. I have little doubt that, fiscally, if they were to have their way we'd really be screwed. Of course they are a pretty vast group, with a wide range of opinions. Only constant I see is a dislike for anything they perceive as socialism. So it's kind of hard to tell what exactly they want. But for the last 40-50 years sound bites and slogans get people elected. Well that and telling people what they want to hear. Sound bite, slogans and pandering will not dig the US out of the hole it's dug it's self into, I just hope some solutions do make it through the sausage machine before we end up looking like the USSR when it fell.
