Why should I trust any entity that refuses to work together to resolve major issues? 1 - Who's calling for your to trust anyone? I'm calling for you to engage with arguments, not to assume your opponents are correct. To negotiate with your opponent, you have to believe they are negotiating in good faith. Rs have a history of not negotiating in good faith. I gave you two examples today of where they changed the rules midstream. That has become a common feature of Rs. Hence, why would anyone negotiate with them? Its a no win situation. 2 - Refusing to work with your opponents and achieving your opponents agenda is not the same as a flat refusal to work together on major issues. That's not what has been done. Obama included GOP talking points into his health care proposal. Nonetheless, its unacceptable to Rs. The only way HCR would be acceptable to Rs is if only their points are included in any plan. 3 - Who's this entity your talking about? If you want to not trust Graham that's one thing, but what does that have to do with CATO (who would like to close Gitmo, unlike Graham), or Heritage, or the National Review, or some business's editorial, etc. You casually dismiss ideas and arguments from any source your aren't in ideological agreement with. The entity is the GOP.
