Mitch McConnell Says Compromise With Obama Possible in GOP-Ruled Congress

I don't want compromise with Democrats. I would rather they did nothing than give liberals what they want (Definition of compromise to liberals). You don't compromise on principles unless you don't have them. If the "Golf Club Republicans" think it is buisness as usual they are in for a rude awakening. We will get rid of them too.

There is no compromising with Obama. The man has the mind set that repubs can come along for the ride but that they must sit at back of the bus. The repubs need to stop Obama's agenda before he destroys America.

The gov't caused the financial mess we have now as a result of social engineering to put people in homes they couldn't afford. Obama wants to make the situation worse for us by overtaxing the populance. (Obamacare is loaded with new taxes). He likes to say he wants to raise taxes on "rich" people making $200K or more. The facts are that many two-income families and small businesses make that kind of money. He will either put them out of business or impose hardships on the others. He's trying to sell it as raising taxes on only 2% of the population. That 2% is where the jobs are created. It's time to get him off our backs and to get this nation back on track.

If the Dems can hold power, they should ignore McConnell, Boehner, and the party of "No". But if the Dems lose control, they should say NO to everything McConnell and Boehner want.

True enough, Republicans were out to sabotage Barrack Obama from day one of his presidency, just as Democrats tried to do the same with George W. Bush. If our elected representatives would actualy try to honestly try to solve the problems affecting our country in an honeest bi partisan way instead of constantly trying to out gun each other, We the citizens would all be better off. I for one, would like to see a Congress about equally divided between the Democrats and the Republicans. That way they would actualy have to work together to get things done.

so let me get this...the republicans are now willing to "work" with him if they win a majority this Nov. in the senate...but McConnell who is labled as "one of the architects of the no strategy" is to be beleived. Do you people not see the games that the republicans have played for the last two years...do you not see how they have provented any improvement in our economy..concentrating instead on how to make Obama fail. Why would anyone in their right mind vote republican again.

This is how we know the Republicans realize their ambition of a majority is in jeopardy....Mitch McConnell is trying to "soft-sell" the notion that they're willing to do ..what they haven't been willing to do for the last 2 years...as long as they can compromise ON THEIR TERMS...which in reality..is no compromise at all...just another example of Republican bait and swith

Wow, I have to commend all of the earlier comment posters here, it's been a while since I've seen such rational and reasonable thought on one of these boards. Maybe we can get back to the legislators in Congress working for the people, not just for their party and it's benefactors.

President Obama tried hard to lead a cooperative government but the Republican mantra of NO! stopped that.

The GOP is in for the same rude awakening as the DNC if they take back Congress then return to the same hyperpartisan business as usual that has America exhausted. If they do, I believe it is reasonable to expect they will very quickly be gone again in 2012.
