Elections have consequences, republicans have put themselves in a situation where all their sacred cows are at peril at a time when they cannot possibly feel that confident taking a hardline stand. Democrats just do not have that much at stake in this mess so prepare your anus.
Remind me again how compromise just means the republicans give in.
Just last year, Obama and top Democrats were willing during budget negotiations with Republicans to take politically risky steps such as reducing the annual inflation adjustment to Social Security and raising the eligibility age for Medicare.
Now, with new leverage from Obama's big election victory and a playing field for negotiations that is more favorable in other ways, too, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other Democrats are taking a harder line.

yep, just screw the other half that didn't vote for the dear leader
Remind me again why the Dems should have to?

They shouldn't. Obama needs to keep playing hardball and give the right wing trash the same that they have been giving to him the past four years.
I would also like to point out that if the democrats were to play nice and not be so hard on the poor stupid republicans that it would earn them nothing next time the republicans decide to take something democrats like hostage. Stick it to those obstructionist bastards until they scream, maybe that's something they will respect, lord knows they hate compromise.

why would you cut things that matter to the vast majority of this society before you make the top 1% kick in?
Excuse me if the schadenfreude is just too delicious at least as far as the political maneuvering here is concerned, republicans do not have a problem with this mess that they did not bring upon themselves 100%. The incredible amount of political capital they wagered on kicking the can to this point in time and winning the election and therefore having the upper hand in this situation is mind boggling in it's stupidity and carelessness. They have played chicken with their entire platform and lost, pray you still have a party to peel off the road when this over.

In other words, Democrats have no intention of cutting anything, despite what they said before the election. But we already knew that. Only the suckers who voted for them believed otherwise.

Republicans "kicked the can?"
You are utterly hilarious.
