Well since the OP didn't specify the politician, I'll just list my complaints with the GOP as a whole.
1. They talk the talk but they won't walk the walk. Especially on fiscal issues. When not in power, they talk about fiscal sanity and when they get power they spend like Democrats.
2. Lately the have been willing to compromise their beliefs and principles for power.
3. They are walking on egg shells. Instead of extolling the many virtues of conservatism or pointing out the obvious failures of this administration and progressivism in general, they cower like chickens, afraid of alienating anyone.
4. This one is also a major criticism of the left as well: They crow about rights and liberties but they only actually support the rights and liberties that they approve of.

Some very good comments here - well worth reading. Thanks.
That said - I disagree totally on the compromise element. Losing an election means they don't have a mandate to do much except compromise on issues like the fiscal cliff. They should have gone into that room willing and able to make a deal.

The fiscal cliff was a product of compromise.....Just further proof that no matter what you give to the left to try and mollify them, it's never ever good enough.Well since the OP didn't specify the politician, I'll just list my complaints with the GOP as a whole.

the election was 51/49. a very slim win for obama. the country is very divided. One side wants european socialism where the govt runs every aspect of our lives, and the other wants smaller less intrusive govt and individual freedom.
I don't see many areas of compromise between those two positions

Ronald Reagan won 1980 election with only 50.8%

yeah, so what? did anyone say that Reagan had a mandate?
the point is that many of you on the left are falsely claiming that obama has a mandate, and he does not.

yes people did and do
Obama had a mandate to raise taxes on the wealthy elites.
It was debated by the Obama/Biden ticket versus the Romney/Ryan ticket and the people voted to raise taxes on the wealthy elites.
Republicans always argue they have a broad sweeping mandate. I never said Obama had a broad sweeping mandate, but a mandate he has on what he ran on versus what the GOP ran against. The people as a nation voted.
Senators and Representatives do not get mandates from America. They get mandates from congressional districts and states. Only the President gets a national mandate.
It's time to put your mouth where your money is.
If you are a Conservative, I'd like you to tell us what you do not like or have not liked about any recent conservative politician, or about the GOP.
I'd ask liberal posters to refrain from dumping on them!

In common parlance, "mandate" means overwhelming support for a policy or idea. Obama does not have a mandate.
Yes, they and the media sold half the people on the lie that taxing the evil rich would solve all of our problems. It won't and you know it.
anyone who claimed that Reagan had a mandate in his first term is wrong. He did have a mandate in his second election

What's wrong with that?Wow! A liberal would vote for a Republican who trashes the GOP? There's a shock!
