I believe I have been saying that there was a rejection and anti-Pelosi sentiment that was used by winning candidates and that the approach worked.

And no, you and the Tea Party and/or the ultra-conservative wing of the Republican party do not represent the values of a majority of Americans, who also btw, want the Republicans to show a greater willingness to compromise and not be so rigid (and sanctimonious - my editorial observation) in their ideology.

Again, I know most Americans are not as far right as I am. Haven't I made that clear. If not, let me say - I see things in (figuratively) in black and white, I think being a "centrist" is being nothing and is a cop-out or fear of taking a stance. I don't compromise on issues important to me.

But you obviously dont understand the concept of compromise...to you, it is a sign of weakness, not consensus-building for the greater good.

True. I have been trying to understand this concept for several years now. when I ask questions and seek clarification, I get ignored or the name calling begins. I am not going to give up - one day perhaps you can communicate how and why you compromise on your core values or beliefs. President Obama's willingness to compromise often leaves me confused.
