This is not a surprising outcome after a year of polls that found many Americans unhappy with the level of discord and bitter partisanship in Washington. A Pew Research/National Journal survey conducted Sept. 30-Oct. 3 found that 77 percent of Americans thought Republicans and Democrats in Washington were "bickering" more, compared to 53 percent who had the perception in April 2009.
Please work together and remember your voice is suppose to be our voice. Americans want universial health care or the same health care you have. Why do foreign sources not outsource some there projects to Americans. We need jobs and our products sold and small businesses encouraged and the main thing is educate the children. Many of them cannot even write a complete sentence. Progress one step and go back two. Seperate the faster learners from the slowers ones. The faster students don't need supervison and help. Please make changes with the changes and new blood in the game. Thank you

If there is any compromise, it should be the Democrats who offer the compromise as they were the party given the vote of "no confidence".

First, if they were actually concerned about American citizens you would have thought that they would have done something positive for them when they held vast majorities in both houses! That didn't happen and the Citizens noticed! Instead they have promoted Obamacare, more regulations, higher taxes, class and racial warfare, and bigger Government! They have been killing jobs as fast as they can!

November 10 2010 at 6:07 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyblack007 Your right, it started in 2006 when the democrats took control of the house and senate.

November 10 2010 at 4:25 PM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down ReplyThe minority party ALWAYS wants the party in power to compromise. Gee I wonder how many studies we need to figure out the reasoning behind that. lol But the proof is in the pudding. Obama and Dems talk a lot about 'compromise' but always expects it all to come from the other side.

If you ask folks whether or not they would like to see non-partisan cooperation in Congress, many will agree. Ask about specific proposals, however, and suddenly those voters are not in favor of compromise; e.g. ask Dems about "Reproductive Rights" or Republicans about higher taxes and see what happens to this "Just get it done." attitude...
November 10 2010 at 3:35 PM Report abuse Permalink +11 rate up rate down ReplyIs this the same compromise we have seen over the last two years. Democrats ram thru bad bills with no input from republican and pelosi would not floor any republican bills. Drop all the bad bills and work together to write new one. Would that be a compromise?
November 10 2010 at 2:03 PM Report abuse Permalink -5 rate up rate down ReplyIf the Republicans spent half of thier energy they use to kill Obamacare and came up with ideas to make it work there wouldnt be a problem implementing this law.
