Overall, though, the issue with the Republicans is a faulty definition of compromise. The republicans seem to think that compromise means "give us what we want", when it actually means "agree something acceptable to both sides"- Oh, and an annoying case of asking for further compromise each and every time an opportunity comes up. ( by that, I mean that, for example, the first time the debt ceiling was nearly hit, the republicans asked for cuts to various programs, and refused tax cuts for the rich. The second time, they asked for further cuts ( to the same programs, IIRC) and again refused any tax rises for the rich. It makes it look kinda like they're trying to get their way by stealth- forcing cuts to programs until said programs fail)
