We played that game in 1994. The republicans turned into rhino’s and lost the house, and the senate. You only work with the other side within reason, sticking almost entirely to your own core beliefs. You don’t think that works? Well it just did. The republicans took a hard stance against the democrats for the last two years. How did that work out.

I respectfully must inform you that your argument is invalid.

I am not saying that we ought to compromise with the Democrats.

By prudence I meant simply to recognize the limits of our power, what we can and cannot do.

We are in an essentially defensive mode right now.

We can block Obama's agenda, but we still cannot implement our own until we gain control of the WH and Senate.
