What kind of compromise are you looking for? Earlier in this thread, yesterday, you turned on another poster with your comments:I guess you are right. But, we have to have that conversation to get those things done, right? can we come from different viewpoints and compromise on an idea? How can Congress do it if we can't on a mere message board? We have a problem with our egos, I think. What do you think?Admitting you were wrong about something is so terrible? I was wrong about something I wrote earlier today and someone corrected me on it. Called me a liar. I read his link and he was right. I was wrong. My message (best to memory)This happens all the time in this country just not usually in politics. There's a reason for that, the point of politics isn't to get along and share ideas and it definitely isn't to admit you're wrong.
"Dotcom your are right. I stand corrected. Thank you."
That wasn't so hard to do. None of us are right 100% of the time. Isn't it more responsible to have a reputation of being honest knowing you can't be right all of the time? Some people have a reputation for insulting when the conversation turns on them. That's just the opposite of what we should be doing. Just my 2 cents.
No it's not wrong. What I asked you was in order to accomplish what? Without a political organization in place all you're really talking about is conversation.
OK. I've read several posts of yours calling for compromise. I have a question. Do you believe that the Affordable Care Act represents a case of democrats compromising in order to attain a common goal?
1) "It's always the RWNJ traitors who are ashamed of their own country.
We would be so much better off if they stopped their whining and their crapping on the USA and just left.
You worthless bums - Love it or leave it"
2) "Pretty strange coming from a white supremacist, ignorant, cracker, trailer trash like you."
Does this lend itself for a continuation of a dialogue? Why should I respond to you when you will return with attacks and name calling? I'm not altruistic here. Just a poster who likes to share ideas with others. You, it appears, find it difficult to put your thoughts out there, to be open to others' possible criticism to continue dialogue. When you don't have a "winning" answer for something you attack like a caged animal.
Now, as to your question, "no." I didn't see it as a compromise. Nancy Pelosi took matters in her own hands and conferred with other Democrats, at times, in my opinion, to primarily get votes. The WH was not looking for a compromise, they were looking for a coup.
I agree with your impressions but, you've just walked into a trap.
