Obama recently had a closed-door session with Republican leaders, reminding them that the last time he attempted to compromise with them, (putting in 40% of tax breaks into the stimulus) they gave him ZERO votes. Both times.
So when it comes to Health Care Reform, he's not even bothering to give them an inch. Come October 15th, he doesn't need a single vote from them anyway and plans on just passing it through as "reconciliation," which means he doesn't need 60 votes and the GOP can't even filibuster it if they wanted to.
But hey, maybe they can just move off to Texasland, and form their own damn country.
