Mr. Mitt says Barack Obama failed to bring Democrats and Republicans together. Well, Duh. It’s pretty much impossible to produce togetherness when one side has a my way or the highway attitude. Hey, Republicans, I’m talking about you.
The Democratic Party is far from perfect, but in general it is considerably more compromising than the current Republican Party. A substantial number of Democrats accept the fact that getting your way one hundred percent of the time is not how government is sustained in a democratic republic. Many present-day Republicans do not seem to accept this fact. Moreover, many Republicans come across as putting party before country.
Mr. Mitt says that his accomplishments as Governor of Massachusetts, where the legislature was more than seventy percent Democratic, shows he can bring Democrats and Republicans together. Well, yes, one might counter, because those Massachusetts Democrats had a significant proportion of reasonable, compromising individuals. President Obama, on the other hand, has found no such group of reasonable, compromising Republicans in the United States Congress.
