In some alternate universe a newspaper runs a story- Democrats NOT Willing to Compromise
on _______________________________. Story con't below

Democrats of every description have come together today to celebrate their historic passage of the ______________________________, a bill that passed without a single Republican vote, but which polling shows over 72% - 80% of the American public approve of.

Republicans who tried to block the bill went home to their districts today to face voters upset with their obstructionism. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, described by insiders as "retreating into his shell" offered to step down in face of this debacle, one that is predicted to shrink the already on-the-ropes party. Republican poller Frank Luntz attributed the party's stunning loss of face as being due to rejecting his advice to rename the bill "The Nazi Pedophile Omnibus Break the Budget Bill" a lot sooner.
