If you believed in democracy you cant love the republican party
The poll also showed that Democrats are generally more willing to compromise than Republicans or Independents. Over 60 percent of Democrats said that more compromise was preferable, while only 55 percent of Independents and 38 percent of Republicans agreed. In addition, Democrats preferred compromise over ideological intransigence by a 41 percent margin, while Republicans said they sought the same by only a 2 percent margin.
Self-identified Tea Party supporters notched the most significant opposition to compromise, with only 39 percent supporting some form of it. Nonetheless, 40 percent of Tea Partiers still preferred tangible results to ideological purity.
Poll: 53 Percent Favor Compromise in Congress
That is funny, but you need to define the word compromise. To progressives/liberals if you ask them what the word means it is that conservatives give in to their demands. If you ask a conservative it means both sides give a little to reach a middle ground.

Nice projection. Too bad the real world works in the opposite way. It wasn't the Democrats who shut down the government rather than compromise.
What are you smoking? It certainly was the Democrats who shut down the government rather than compromise. And they did so with glee trying to blame Republicans for it.
And you're claiming others are living in fantasy.

I know you're an idiot, but you can't be serious.

It is something isn't it? David Dumbery let some woman make that claim this past Sunday on Meet the Softball Press and did not challenge her on it.
Delusion.

You believe that?
Absolutely, you don't?

No. It is retarded concept, given the GOP's absolute refusal to compromise. Democrats are only open to conservative submission, nothing more, nothing less.
Actually, there are no words to describe how wrong you are. All we can do is shake out heads in awe.

Ah yes, more of the TDM mindset that Democrats are perfect.
Only an idiot would think the Democrats are open to compromise or have ever been open to compromise.
I am sorry, I thought you had something more than marbles in your head.
Yes, you heard me right. Believe it or not, we're all bipartisan at heart. As overtly partisan as we all are at times, we seek a sort of political balance in our subconscious. Don't believe me? Why do we seek unbiased interpretations of the news? Or of the facts? Why do we seek bipartisanship between the two parties in Washington? Why do we react so angrily with someone who claims to be bipartisan but is not?
As crazy as that all sounds, I believe all of us, from extreme right to extreme left seeks bipartisanship in some way. We all want cooperation in our government. I've observed it. We want both parties to work together for the furtherment of America! It might not look like it, but in some way we desire bipartisanship. Just a few hours ago, I was accused of being a neo-con. I am a libertarian, albeit not a perfect one. I have some Republican leanings, admittedly.
I try to be bipartisan when I can, but sometimes I fail to do that. Yes, even I am not infallible. So, while that accusation was off the mark, it shows that the accuser might be seeking that same bipartisanship. It shows how all of us seek it, but are disappointed when someone or something isn't truly bipartisan in nature. Bipartisanship is hard to achieve, it can also be dangerous. But one thing is clear. It makes sure whatever it is needing to get done, get's done.
Bipartisanship can also be dangerous, when those of our parties decide to work against us. It can be a blessing or a curse, a weapon or a tool. We are all bipartisan at heart, whether we like it or not.
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty." George Washington, September 19, 1796

Bipartisan is a completely bullshit term with no real meaning.
I think for myself, rather than trying to fit "between" the parties. There's a staggering spectrum of political views that aren't represented at all by either party.
I know where you're coming from, but bipartisan isn't the right word for it.
Indeed. Every time I hear the term, I cringe. It means absolutely ZERO...it's a ploy used to quell the Dumbasses.Bipartisan is a completely bullshit term with no real meaning.

Listen to the man. He is wrong about almost everything, but he got this 100% right.

I have never been offended when someone claimed to be bipartisan and been proven to be a liar, I have been relieved. Bipartisan ship got us a spending bill that eliminated the fake cuts of the sequester, why the hell would I want to be more bipartisan?

If you read the very last point I made in that essay, I acknowledge how being bipartisan can also work against us. Its both a blessing and a curse. I'd rather see it used as the former, but unfortunately, it's as the latter at this point in time.
