Reply #95: Politics IS Compromise... [View All]

I thought the whole PROBLEM with Bush what that, when they win by the smallest margin, they play this "winner take all" game, they fail to "reach across", and represent ALL Americans?

Good or bad, smart or stupid, we should respect what most people want and think, not just 50.00001% of them who happen to win elections...

I'm not saying to adopt the Bush Doctrine, the exact opposite.

But when we're not willing to compromise, when we want to simply gain power and ram what we believe down the throats of the other 49.99999% who lose, we're no better than THEY are.

I firmly believe that there's PLENTY that the Democratic party stands for that the vast majority of Americans believe in and want, only they've failed to get that message out in a way that penetrates today's voter.
