Yes, the "no compromise!1!" DUers are back at it.

Nevermind that we have just watched a national political party make itself irrelevant in many ways for this very behavior. "Compromise" is a grievous sin that should never, under ANY circumstances, be an option.

Mark my words, these same people and their sources of "inspiration" will be hard at it leading up to 2014.

*sigh* And the beat goes on.

Not happy, but live with.

The latest compromises have been more like:

GOP: "I want to kill 100 people and loot their remains!:

Dems: "That's a little harsh, can't you do with 75?"

GOP: "NO! I need 100 or the economy will crash!"

Dems: "...90?"

GOP: "No! Now I need 200, since we took the time to argue this, I'm losing money here!"

Dems: "Ok, 200, but I need you to give at the church afterward."

GOP: "Yes! SUCKER!!"

Out of the two Bullshit Mountains, the one on the right or the one on the left, I sometimes have a hard time figuring out which one has the most bullshit.

Tell that to our soldiers in Iraq.

They were put in harms way for profit, and a "compromise" got them there.

Still think it's hyperbole?
