Reality: You are a slave and need ways to rationalize the hallucination that you are free.
You'll be the one camping on the sidewalk overnight, so you can be the first on your block to have a UPC tattooed onto your forehead.
Naaawww...That's not right.....You're the type of nitwit who'd pay extra to have someone come to your home and do a custom job.
Our representatives need to compromise in order for our government to function. It's that simple. But the politicians and pundits have done SUCH a good job of polarizing us, that many people don't even remember that simple fact. 300 million people are never going to all agree on something completely. Good laws have been passed through compromise and yes, as regent so astutely points out, they are usually polished up after passage.
It's a shame that the manipulators have done such a good job of deflecting blame off themselves by pitting us against each other, that so many people have bought into it.
Sorry to disagree. Poorly thought out Laws, poorly worded Laws, are the Tyrant's Friend. They enable him to act before the People even realize what's going on, let alone construct and apply a remedy. Better to get it as right as we can, before passage,somethings just cannot be undone that easily. No matter which side of the Aisle one supports, we each face consequence. Law and Justice, is supposed to be about what is Right, which is not always the case in relation to what is popular, or the flavor of the day. Grownups should know better.
Well I have to respect a civil and well-reasoned post - even if we disagree. Which I still do. Let's look at Oil Subsidies. I am against giving special tax breaks or subsidies to ANY company, farm etc... but would compromise if the company A) Hired 100% American workers and B) Paid taxes 100% in America.
Someone else might have a different idea. The GOP seems rally intent on pointing their finger at teh Dems over farm subsidies while they support them for Big Oil. The Dems point their fingers at the GOP over subsidies to Big Oil while they support farm subsidies.
YOu can't tell me there's not a compromise in there somewhere. But by convincing us to believe they SHOULDN'T compromise, both sides get to keep pointing their fingers and keep giving away our money.
As far as making sure a law is absolutely perfect as passed, can you name one in the last 100 years that would be a good example of this? Sometimes you don't know where the flaw or hole is until application occurs.
The key words in the post were "for the good of the country".
As long as 'compromise' means that the GOP sit in the back, as our Fearless Leader has said they should do, and let the Democrats call all the shots, then no, there should be no compromise. We did not elect our Republican representatives to go to Washington to be Democrats. We elected them because they said they were committed to certain principles and goals that made them different from Democrats.
If all we want is compromise, why not do away with the GOP altogether and just elect Democrats who will march in lockstep together?

Do you think Bush and the GOP did the same thing, back in the day? Do you think the GOP does the same thing now?
I do. I'd be happy to name a couple examples if you like. Both sides do the same thing.

That wasn't the question in the OP was it? If you want to analyze the differences between the Democrats and GOP, then you should have said that.
Otherwise let's stick with the question of whether or how much we want compromise which is a very different question and a far more interesting one.
Well, since you're such a big fuckin' noise in Nevada, why don't you get Harry Reid on the blower and lay all that inescapable logic and suave platitudinous bullshit about compromising and not being all divisive on him, and report back to us on how you make out?
I mean really...You don't honestly believe that posting all your navel contemplating crapola on some interweb message board is going to get any action, do you?
C'mon, hop to it!....Show us all that you're not just some big fucking bag of wind!
