Sorry, not in this case.
We've been "compromising" for five years of stupid policies from the Bush43 Whitehouse... no more.
Either Republicans start doing what they were elected to do or a lot of voters go 3rd party just like they did for Bush41... and the only ones to blame if the Lovely Mrs. Clinton is elected are the sorry-*ss Republicans in office.
If there is another "Perot" in 2008, the GOP is toast for the reasons you stated. Can anyone say they have earned their keep?
All we get are more excuses and explanations. We need 60 senators. No we need 90 senators. And on and on.
At this point, it seems most people I know are just disgusted all around between "illegals gone wild" at every mall, spending liek there is no tommorow, and so on and so on.
This Meirs thing just shows how incompetence and mediocrity are applauded and rewarded in D.C.
