“I sense a change in mood,” Senator Mike Johanns, Republican of Nebraska, said Wednesday. “It’s a little more bipartisan."

Bipartisan means democrats refuse to compromise on their position and the GOP caves. Always has, always will.

Democrats do not compromise. They demonize, they attack, they obstruct but they do not compromise. When you hear "lawmakers today compromised on ... " you can bet that the concessions made by dems will turn out to be fake and never happen for real, like Boehner's mythical spending cut deal earlier in the year. It's disgusting that this keeps winning for them, but it does.

Democrats do not compromise. They demonize, they attack, they obstruct but they do not compromise.

And -- evil as they are -- I SO admire that trait. A good example of this is the witch Pelosi. The woman never gives an inch, and as such the rest of the dems never back down on the stuff that matters -- BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEIR LEADERSHIP HAS THEIR BACK!!!!!!

Contrast that to the gelatin-spined Boehner, McConnell and the other craven repugs in the House and Senate, who simply seem to have an innate tendency to weaken in the face of pressure.

Maybe the theory of republicans preferring minority status has merit.

Democrats do not compromise.

And Susan Collins is not a Republican. Just read this quote,

“What we’ve been hearing over and over again is that the reason Republicans are opposed to the surtax is because of the concern on its impact on job creation,” she said. “Well if you carve out employers you take away that argument.”

She is removing her own Party's reason for opposition? Does that sound like a team player?
