You may be right. However, one of the most startling facets of the current Republican party is their inability to compromise. The reason that's important is that you have to be willing to compromise some in Washington, especially after an electoral defeat. If they're going to adamantly stick with the same policies we turned down this time, why is the public going to change its mind and vote for them the next time around? They're going to have to repackage themselves and their policies and to do that, they're going to need to make some compromises.
