I could care less about the GOP or the democrat parties. We need to stand for something other than corrupting our values and promises that we make to voters.
We've spent longer than that, but that's another story. There always has to be compromise, there is no way around it. We just need people that are more statesmen and less politicians in our government. Unfortunately, until the politicians do not hold the majority there will be no change. I'm sure some think these folks bucking the GOP trend are leaning that way, but part of being a statesman is building a consensus, which involves compromise.
