The Democrats are stunned that the Republicans are actually standing ground for once. The Dems expected the paper tiger Republicans to fold long ago. It is weird that the Pubs are holding on. If Jeb Bush or Romney was the President, the Pubs would have folded a long, long, time ago. You know, for the sake of compromise and bipartisanship. The word 'compromise' means in Democrat language, "Screw you! Do it my way." Maybe the Republicans have finally wised up to the fact that the Democrats are not serious. They only want things one way. And that is their way.
