Why is the burden still on Democrats to play nice with Republicans?
In addition to Barack Obama's sound thrashing of John McCain in the presidential election, the Democrats picked up 7 (possibly 8) seats in the Senate and expanded their House majority to at least 80 seats last month.
That is an electoral ass-whipping that stretched from sea to shining sea!
Why is it then, that David Gergen believes President-elect Obama should "govern much more from the center and not from the left"?
How about we put the burden on the minority Republicans to respect the will of the American people (who roundly rejected their ideology) and give the majority Democrats some sway in cleaning up Dubya's mess?
I say fuck 'em. Republicans had their way for the better part of the last eight years and everything they touched promptly turned to shit.
Why do they deserve any level of deference simply because the Democrats didn't get to 60 seats in the Senate?
