The last time Republicans tried to do things without compromise their way or the highway style was Wisconsin. That really worked out for them, didn't it.

No compromise, no deal. That is the Democrat way these days isn't it. I think that maybe you need to look up the definition of capitulate and then insert it where you like to use compromise.

I have told these left leaners over and over that Obama doesn't want to negotiate any kind of compromise. He wants only capitulation by the GOP and they have finally figured that out. Most of these people don't know the difference between compromise and capitulation.

That is a question that almost made me roll out of my chair in laughter. Does this say that Murdoch owns all of the MSM or just Fox? Maybe you need to stop watching Fox so you will know that there are many more places to see the news.

And at the Arizona game Obama looks like the kid who took the foul ball and gave it to the kid who was crying.



Would someone please give the Congressman a ball to play with

That won't be necessary, he is kicking Obama's pretty well..........

Sorry but the wealthy folks have had a party for years with the tax breaks
YOUR TURN

If you didn't get a tax break from that law then you are one of the people who pay no income taxes. I am not sure that people who pay no income taxes should be allowed to vote. I got a break and I sure am not above middle middle class.

I think that you have been taken in by Obama's desire for a class warfare. He doesn't give a damn about the middle class other than some money to redistribute and to talk about to push his class war.

Is that one over now? I didn't know that but it is kind of funny that some of you painfully lefthanded people are so sure the unions have won out there.

I love to see someone talk about my way or the highway and then talk about compromise when all Obama will accept is capitulation by the GOP. I know that few, if any of these lefties know the definition of capitulate but they may learn some day.

My point was that both political extremes have media outlets serving their interests. Murdoch is certainly no champion of fair and unbiased news.
