Why is it that when the Democrats win what we hear is "We Won" and "Go to the back of the bus" and when the Republicans win we hear " We need to compromise?" I do not want compromise if it mean more debt, more taxes and no repeal of Obamacare. Let Obama and the Democrats compromise, they lost.

On the flip side, Reid will represent the democratic party in the senate for two more years.
There's always a bright side!

As I read over these post I am still amazed that people actually think there is a difference in the parties. All I see is the next group of crooks in to replace the ones that just left... It's like we are picking a favorite football team or my dad can beat up your dad. They laugh at us and we keep getting the shaft. In four years this will all flop back over to the other crooks and we will all keep on arguing over who has the better team. Meanwhile, we get screwed.
The real question is did prop 19 pass? I am ready to get high.
Polls seems to indicate this is going down. I think though if you took the time to break the vote down by age, you'de find it's only a matter of time before pot is legal.

When the Democrats won there was an olive branch extended. A very bitter minority swatted it away.
Keep in mind that your "win" was only 1/3 of the law making branch of government.
Is "I won" your definition of an olive branch?

Boehner already has signaled little appetite to negotiate with the White House or congressional Democrats, saying last week that "this is not a time for compromise."
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who told the National Journal, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."
Are these of your definition of an olive branch?
Idle....perhaps more research and less living in fantasy land would be prudent.....;-)

The olive branch being discussed was the one supposedly offered by the chosen one.
Hopefully Boehner and McConnell are being honest. We voted for change today, not compromise. And I can't live in fantasy land because all the liberals are hogging up the turf.

Why should the new Republican majority extend an olive branch to Pelosi et al?

SWGB That's about as bad a concession as I've ever seen. You lost big time and you refuse to admit it. I'm loving the fact that the GOP didn't win the Senate. That means 2012 is a lock. Either way you look at it the fact is this was a landslide witnessed only once in a lifetime.
I pray the investigations of corruption begin. This is only the beginning of righting the ship.
