Do you believe that the House should completely compromise and pass the Senate's poison pill now?

No. There should be honest negotiations between the House and the Senate. Bullying won't work.

Screw it, they should just put the thing out of its misery. If the status quo continues, blame the Senate/Bush administration.

If the status quo continues, the House will be just as much to blame. In addition, every House member is running, so they're much more exposed than the Senate is.

For all the bluster, Hastert and Boehner have not joined the "all or nothing" crowd. Watch what they say over the next couple of weeks.

What bullying? Pence's plan is the best compromise there is. You and I agreed to that already. If the Senate won't consider it, then what?

If the status quo continues, the House will be just as much to blame.

Wrong. Voters will realize that the Senate is to blame and just wants to ram its amnesty package down America's throats. House candidates will be supported, but the Senate and support for the administration will deteriorate even more than it already has.

In addition, every House member is running, so they're much more exposed than the Senate is.

House Republicans will be rewarded. The Senate will completely be ignored. Maybe its time for a unicameral Congress, IMO.
