Since I voted straight Republican with the exception of the President I Demand my fuking side quits acting like a baby and works with the other side for the good of the country. I demand my side QUITS simply trying to make the other side fail so more of them can get elected. If things don't work out BOTH sides are failures not just the president.

that's the way to encourage discussion, compromise, etc!!
always seems funny to me when one side (generally the losing one) asks for compromise, yet will concede nothing. and then they wonder why nothing happens.

When your definition of "Work with the otherside" is to give them completely what they want without any changes don't be suprised if you receive resistance. Joey is a perfect example of the faction that is destroying the Republican party.

We All lose without this.

The makers should compromise with the takers? What, at (figurative) gunpoint?

No. I believe the dems in this instance should stand firm and cut defense spending. Our repubs have been TAKING and lining the pockets of their buddies in the defense industry far too long which is the number 1 cause of why we are were we are financially.

Defense is the ONLY thing liberals ever want to cut. Give surrender a chance...

Believe it or not, there is common ground. I'm a conservative and I support national defense, and more is better to a point (emphasis intended).

However, besides getting out of Afghanistan, I'd be the first to point out that we never should have went into Iraq under George W. Bush. How did Colin Powell make that presentation to the U.N. that showed evidence for "Weapons of Mass Destruction"? Somebody really screwed up.

But even aside from that - how long is too long to maintain an American "tripwire" force on the 38th parallel? I think 60 years is plenty, don't you guys? What did deployment, support, hardware, supplies, etc. cost over 60 years? Or, since Korea was "U.N. Police Action", let's bill the U.N. (a.k.a other countries) for the costs including a profit for us. This at the same time as we reduce our payments to the U.N. from 22% of their operating capital down to the lowest contributing large nations of around 1.6% for Russia.
