Note that the subtext is that the GOP is the party living in the feudal system while its opponents are modern, albeit having the taste of a used car salesman.
Accurate to a degree.
I would have preferred a GOP Aaron Burr holding the smoking gun and standing over the dead body of a Democrat Alexander Hamilton.
But that GOP died a long time ago.

Sub texts of the visual aside, the word compromise is the key for me. It is to be expected. And as the cartoon portrays, much of the media will be expecting it. Screw 'em. If after this resounding thumping of the Democrats and all they stand for, compromise should be the last thing to be considered. The GOP has been given the chance to bring the real America back. If it can put its foot on the path to that end, there is no doubt that '16 will be theirs. If they don't, then who cares? We will be a one party system country.

Love it!

I don't doubt it for one second.

That's the modern media for you: asking absurd questions. No wonder they're dying.

Love it, but it was too late to kill ObamaCare, which passed only because the response to Bush invading everyone was to throw both houses and the presidency to the socialist D's.

The R's should act appropriately and responsibly so that the situation doesn't reverse itself in 2016.

...shaking head in utter belief... that's our MSM. Anyone notice that virtually none of them have made much of the admission by the Obamcare architect that it was carefully crafted to obfuscate the truth from the "stupid" electorate? It is only on talk radio and FOX... at least in any meaningful way so far. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/11/...

The problem is that the Republicans do not hold enough votes in House and Senate to pass veto-proof legislation. Therefore, they cannot accomplish any legislation -- including appropriations -- without achieving compromise with enough Democrats to get legislation passed that the President will sign, or to get enough Democrat votes for a bill to make it veto-proof. The Republicans' choice is either to compromise or shut down the government for two years, at least, in which case, market chaos would result as the the President unconstitutionally defaults on the nation's debt. I say, "unconstitutionally," because the Constitution requires the President to pay the debts of the nation before paying anything else -- even his own salary.

Unfortunately, BO doesn't believe that that the American people have made their decision. He thinks that the two thirds that didn't vote are on his side. This is the sad situation that there is so many US citizens have given up in participating in this supposed Constitutional Republic. If, there was closer to an 80% turnout a the polls BO would be see that he can no longer live in his Socialist Fantasy. Are the American people are just lazy or have they just given up? I'm beginning to believe that when more constitutional freedoms are eroded away and more corporations move out of the US that maybe people will wake up. Or just maybe an "Zombie Apocalypse".
