Reply #13: that's just pathetic

You're right, The rethugs will shoot down ANY proposal...telling other democrats to compromise and give the repukes what they want and maybe they'll be nice just won't work. All you get is more attacks, more demands for concessions and in the end you get the bill the repukes wanted...or worse.
Teabagging Filth/Republican Thugs can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with, they don't feel pity, or remorse, and they will exploit any hint of fear, and move the goal posts for any compromise. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until they destroy Obama's presidency.
He can't beat them by caving in to their demands. And yes he did buy into their lies that the deficit is the most important thing to deal with. The only way to win is to fight them every inch of the way, expose them, shame them, and destroy them.
Appeasement doesn't work with fascists. Obama is being a Neville Chamberlain, when what we need is a Winston Churchill.
