Since the days of Ronnie Raygun the Republican Party has none of those three attributes. Actually, many presidents, most notably FDR, had great difficulty getting cooperation from conservatives and right wingers. <abbr><em>Bill Stankus’s last blog post..<a href="http://billstankus.blogspot.com/2009/01/earthquake.html" rel="nofollow">Earthquake!</a></em></abbr> Middle-of-the-road implies compromise, reasonableness and cooperation.

Everything I see and hear from her blames Republicans for everything. It'd be nice to see her take a cue from the White House and start looking for some "middle-of-the-road" tactics. If anything, could she just lie to me on television and at least sound like she's trying to be bipartisan? That's what most of the other politicians do. <abbr><em>Wil Robinson’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.internationalpoliticalwill.com/2009/01/millionaires-of-mumbai/" rel="nofollow">Millionaires of Mumbai</a></em></abbr> I agree…but I’d love to see fellow partisan Nancy Pelosi get out of the way.
