I respect the opinion you stated in your last paragraph zk,
I just don’t agree with it. Still, I can’t find any particular time where he “has reached across the isle” gave way much less compromised as politics is “the art of compromise” (correct me if I’m wrong) then he isn’t practicing that particularly well as I can tell.

I also disagree with you if you’re saying Karl Rove started this “bash the other” side mentality. It was practiced way before he came along. I can’t help but think about the way Dan Quayle was attacked off the top of my head. Both sides are guilty.
