Congress compromise! Right!


I’ve been urging, arguing, chiding and demanding Congress compromise on issues for the good of the whole politic on this blog for years.

Apparently there are many citizens who think similarly.

According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll released recently shows that nearly seven in ten people believe it’s more important for politicians to cooperate across party lines that stick to their positions.

Check out the Chris Cillizza story at www.washingtonpost.com for the details, but the final line of the Post article is as follows.

“Whatever the reason, it seems unlikely that compromise will be making a major comeback in Congress any time soon.  Unless and until, that is, people start punishing politicians for not working together. Don’t hold your breath.”

The off-year elections are coming up.
