And after people decided to compromise for the good of the nation.

It would be refreshing to see Democrats do that once in a while. Instead, they often seem to believe that “compromise” is agreeing with them.

We have seen precious little of it from either side, IMHO.
To quote Mitch McConnell, “the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term President.”

Do you think there will be any press coverage of the alternative Pro-life Dem. convention in Charlotte next week?

Disagree. A President Obama who does not have to worry about re-election in a second term scares the heck out of me.

That can be said for any President, depending on your viewpoint. My point was that McConnell said this some time ago and such an attitude is reprehensible for a United States Senator, Regardless of party affiliation.
Just so you know, I think one of the better things that could happen for all concerned would be for Harry Reid to retire.

It is not bad for our country to remove a man from the office of President who is not up to the job, and whose policies have been more destructive than helpful. It is good for the country that Obama be no more than a one term President, so McConnell was entirely correct. And the example was not a good example of unwillingness to compromise. It was more of an example of McConnell’s love for the country and our Constitution.

See above, BTW, McConnell made that statement in October 2010…expect to see it again soon…in a Democratic ad.

Reagan inherited an economy in the middle of a recession from Carter. After 2 years Reagan turned it around and made the US a prosperous country. Reagan cut taxes and government spending and worked with the democrat congress. Clinton left his own problems behind for Bush, crashed financial bubble and manufacturing in collapse. Bush’s economy had its problems because of overspending but the unemployment rate then is now a goal, that is how terrible the Obama economy is
Paul Ryan said, with out a leadership change why would the next four years be any different from the last four years?
There has been no recovery because of Obama’s policies, the stimulus; ObamaTax; support for raising taxes on small businesses and middle class families and individuals

And the fear of Obamacare and the fact that people are sitting on over a trillion dollars because they are afraid to invest because of all the above.

Do those of you who dismiss Dinesh D’Souza as a right-wing version of Michael Moore come to that conclusion after reading reviews of his books or read his books? Was it WHATS SO GREAT ABOUT CHRISTIANITY (2008) or LIFE AFTER DEATH; THE EVIDENCE (2009) GODFORSAKEN; IS THERE A GOD WHO CARES? (2012)

Revenue went up enormously; the Democrat Congress just spent even more.

Reagan had a veto and did not use it. Further, the only President to slow the deficit rate was Bill Clinton and he had a Democratic Congress early in his term.
The numbers are there.
