all of the predictable..."I hope they can play nice now" platitudes are really nauseating....look....these two parties are as idealogically opposed as they may ever have been ....we have a President and a democrat party that, just looking at their stated agenda, would like to put as much of America and American life under the direct or indirect through regulation/taxation control of a large centralized government as possible...it's what they believe idealogically....and "the far hard radical extremists" on the other side oppose that to their core, kinda like what the founders established....you think there is room for compromise???....compromise is defined by the left and media as them getting at least some of what they want till they can get more further down the road at the expense of the other side , we've been playing this game for a century and we have the most government dependent American citizenry in our history not to mention the non-citizen dependents and we are further in debt at every level and they're still spending lavishly!!!!!....let's see if the dems shove the rest of their stated agenda through during the lame duck session to ...you know....extend an olive branch of bi-partisnship
