Why do Libs think the GOP will compromise w/ them when GOP leader Mike Pence says there will be no compromise?
“Look, the time to go along and get along is over,” said Rep. Mike Pence (Ind.), the chairman of the House Republican Conference. “House Republicans know that. We’ve taken firm and principled stands against their big government plans throughout this Congress, and we’ve got, if the American people will send them, we’ve got a cavalry of men and women headed to Washington, D.C. that are going to stand with us.”
Pence said his party wouldn’t compromise on issues like spending or healthcare reform, two of the weightiest items on Congress’s agenda next year, when the Republicans could control one or both chambers.
“Look, there will be no compromise on stopping runaway spending, deficits and debt. There will be no compromise on repealing Obamacare. There will be no compromise on stopping Democrats from growing government and raising taxes,” Pence told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt Thursday evening. “And if I haven’t been clear enough yet, let me say again: No compromise.”

Because politicians posture and then backtrack all the time. So anything is possible. You can’t take anything a politician says at face value.
Yeah, that no compromise stance will come back to haunt the neo-cons. Obama is at least attempting to even things out but the neo-cons keep wanting to give to the rich.
How can you compromise on pissing trillions of dollars away?
Mike Pence rocks! Pelosi is now delegated to near janitor status now.
The libs can think what ever they want… That’s what gave them the boot!
.
” principled ” ??? They sure lined up to sign the START treaty ( national security of course ) when they included 8 billion dollars for a new missile system ….Phony LIARS .
Liberals think Republicans won because Americans wanted Congress to compromise on big government items like the complete take over of health care, and cap and tax. If Republicans are smart they won’t fall for the trap and they won’t compromise.
Wasn’t only about 18 months ago that the entire Democratic leadership including Obama made an official statement. “We don’t have to compromise. Don’t the Republicans know who won the election”?
How about ALL of Washington compromise with We The People and SECURE OUR DAMNED BORDERS!
I’m just glad you figured out Mike Pence is a force to be reasoned with. Sarah kept all you distracted far too long. Silly Libs!
It will be wonderful to have some sane people representing the Will Of The People in Washington again, because all of this unbelievable insane spending is crippling America. The START Treaty that they rammed through last week was just another middle finger at America last week. They need to defund all of the liberals crazy policies by defunding them all. Obamacare needs to be repealed!
You can’t pass anything without going through the Senate. Democratic Majority. Compromise is the only way to pass anything.
