Tonight on Rachel's show Ed Rendell, former Governor of Pennsylvania, watched as Rachel showed the poll numbers for Taxing the Wealthy: 75% In Favor 25% Opposed and For Leaving Medicare As IS: 65% In Favor, 35% Opposed.

Gov. Rendell, who is now a paid MSNBC political analyst, agreed with Rachel that those poll numbers should embolden Democrats to demand that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes. Then, after viewing the video of Congressman Paul Ryan being BOOED by his own constituents when he said "We already tax the wealthy", Rendell agreed with Rachel that the Democrats are in a very strong position.

THEN Gov. Rendell proceeded to say how the Democrats didn't need to give the Republicans everything they want, but that THE DEMOCRATS DO NEED TO COMPROMISE WITH THE REPUBLICANS.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is why I and many other Democrats are so fucking angry with our party. Here we have a golden opportunity for the Democrats to stand up and show some backbone AND beat the Republicans, but what do we get? Another big name in the Democratic party advocating compromise.

That is pure bullshit. THE COMPROMISING NEEDS TO STOP!!!
