Do you think the winning party in 2012 will hold firm to the extremes of it's party, or moderate to an extent?
Yes the left should come more to the middle. Compromise seems to be a forgotten art. No one should compromise when it comes to the Bill of Rights. In America our rights do not come as a gift from the Govt, their job is to protect our rights as outlined in the Constitution. No I don't think anything is going to change. The Repubs and Dems are 2 sides of the same coin flipping and flopping, and taking care of whoever is buttering their bread at any given time. If Obamacare is such a great thing why are waivers being granted to Corporations and Unions who are favored by the Administration? The same ones who lobbied so hard to see it become law. Political payback?
