<<<< I don't see much compromise coming from you >>>>

I'm the King of compromise. I wanted a single payer for health care but have been wholehearted in my support of Obamacare because I realize that is about the best he could have done. Huge compromise. I want immediate GW initiatives NOW, because I feel GW is real and we best damn well get to work on it because it could get a lot worse; but I'm willing to compromise and do the easy stuff now so we can at least get some progress.

On guns; It's not me that is unwilling to compromise. It is the gun owners and users. I know them and I'm just telling you the facts. I'm just saying let's be reasonable and do what has a chance of being implemented. I'm being realistic because I would really like to see SOME progress. AND I would really like us to come together as a country to fix some of our problems. You will never come together when you go to the ideological corner and refuse to budge.

I'm not asking you or anyone else to change their principle's! My gawd being realistic and getting what laws passed that are possible is not compromising one's principle's - it's compromising on what is achievable so that we can move a tiny bit in the direction of where your principle's are. If we can save some children from being shot by a mental deranged person by concentrating on mental illness issue, you will agree that is a good thing - I know you will.
