Opposing view: GOP offers clear alternative - Opinion - USATODAY.com: "Democrats did not win the majority in Congress or the White House by compromising. They did not oust the Republicans by helping them pass an agenda they did not agree with. They did not come into power by following advice to be more bipartisan. They did what the Republicans must now do to have any chance of gaining a sustainable majority and advancing their ideas. They fought for what they believed in.

Republicans win when they campaign and govern as conservatives. That is what people expect out of them. When Republicans compromised their traditional beliefs and failed to deliver on reform and fiscal responsibility, they lost the trust of the voters."
