Why has "COMPROMISE" become a dirty word to Republican Conservatives?

[PaintMyHouse]

Isn't it the dear leader threatening to veto everything if he doesn't get his way, and didn't prince harry vow to obstruct every republican bill that comes to the senate? I think the lefties are projecting here and being their usual hypocrite selves.

I don't remember Obama saying his highest priority was to make the GOP a one-term congress...

Constitutional duty bothers you?

Last time I checked he was doing his part, unlike the congress.

Show me what a man will kill and die for and I will show you what he cares about. Show me what a man will not kill or die for and I will and I will show you what he cares not a whit about.

That is as much a Political statement as a Physical or Philosophical one. If anyonr is,truly willing to compromise, then the subject of the discussion means nothing to them.

Holy shit, you sound more dysfunctional than usual today. I care about what I'll have for breakfast tomorrow - but I won't kill or die for it.

The white man will provide breakfast for you tomorrow. You don't need to move a muscle or work for or worry about it.

And knowing your peoples history, you WOULD kill that white bastard if he did not give you your breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner. Or snacks. Or cable TV. Or housing. Or vain attempt by that white bastard attempt to educate your hopeless brats.

And you would not die for anything because your life is too sweet at someone else's expense.

Wonderful. We'll all look forward to these things being delivered free of charge. Thank you.

The far right wants to destroy America and hand it completely over to the corporations. They hate that the government would dare help the little guy and within their mind that must end.

Compromise = keeping things working and that is a evil thing.

Another fool. The corporations help America far more than does the Democrat Party. Corporations are most often owned by their stockholders who are common American workers and retirees. Corporations provide jobs for many Americans and pay taxes to the government. You really need to rethink your stupidity.

"The widening gap between the wealthy and the rest of America during the recovery can largely be explained in one word: stocks.

According to recent data from the Federal Reserve, America has the lowest level of stock ownership in 18 years. Yet stock ownership for the wealthy is at a new high—and that has accounted for most of their good fortune compared to the rest of America."

And

"Stock ownership is even more concentrated when it comes to share of total stock holdings. In 2010, the latest period available, the top 10 percent of Americans by net worth held 81 percent of all directly held or indirectly held stocks, according to Edward N. Wolff, an economics professor at New York University who specializes in inequality and Federal Reserve data."

Which proves nothing except that the wealthy have the money to purchase stocks. Have you ever heard of employee stock options? Many corporations offer stock options to purchase stocks to their employees. Exxon is a great example. I know folks who are enjoying a very good retirement now because during the years they were employed by Exxon they purchased Exxon stock.

What it proves is that what you said about stock ownership is dead wrong...

No it doesn't and you know it.

I'm afraid that it does. The average slob doesn't own stock (nor should he), but the rich do, the vast majority of it.

WTF are you talking about? Also the supreme court has the power of judicial review so what it says is the constitution. Something I learned in political science.

We more or less did. We didn't get into the war to stop the slaughter of the Jews, which we knew of, and ignored.

We shouldn't have been in the European theatre to begin with. At least not until Germany actually attacked the US (not US shipping imoroperly supplying British troops).

Well, you need to go right back and either retake the course or demand your money back. The Supreme Court can only render an opinion.

Republicans control both houses of congress. Obama is the one who needs to compromise.

Obviously not. It's not like the congress is getting anything done. At the moment they can't manage to find someone to elect as a new Speaker of the House.

It's working just how it's supposed to. The leadership was weak and nothing but a rubber stamp for Obama. Conservatives put the pressure on for stronger leadership to oppose Obama's agenda. The process is working just fine. Hopefully, a new strong speaker will make Obama reluctant to even get out of bed in the morning. Enough has been done. Time to reverse some crap and defund obamacare and planned parenthood.

I guess that little declaring war on us part didn't matter eh?

First you'd better find a guy that hasn't been bedding the wife of another man. Good luck with that in your "family values" party...

You might to learn something called math. It helps when trying to figure out if the average slob does or does not own stock, which in this case they do not.

Not a fan of McCarthy. I'm in favor of Newt Gingrich for Speaker or Trey Gowdy. I'm not a republican party person. Tea Party.

Does the word "reservation" mean anything to you?

Not like in for dinner in a restaurant, or like being reluctant to form an opinion, or like limitation or proviso, but as a valuable real estate set aside and granted for natural born free-loaders whose glory lives only in their minds and in the novels of James Fenimore Cooper.
