DeMint at CPAC: Compromise Is the Enemy 
GOPers on Capitol Hill should not be looking to work with Democrats to develop common solutions to the nation’s woes, he proclaimed. Not at all. Not ever. And DeMint, with an I’m-so-clever smile, offered what he obviously thought was a killer analogy: the Super Bowl.
Referring to last Sunday’s game, he said, “I can guarantee you that coach Tom Coughlin did not tell his Giants to go out on the field and work with those other guys….They weren’t cooperating with Tom Brady.”
DeMint explained that the New York Giants and the New England Patriots had “different goals.” Consequently, compromise would not work. Continuing with this trenchant observation, DeMint noted that “compromise works well in this world when you have shared goals.” You can compromise with a wife or with a business colleague. But not with Democrats: “We don’t have shared goals with the Democrats.”
……..sigh.
Remind me again why I’m actively trying to work in the same field that Jim DeMint works in? Senator DeMint and Eric Cantor are unsettling.
