How new is Obama's New Politics?

Many Obama supporters claim that including, accommodating and compromising with the right will create post-partisan harmony. When have Democrats not done that?

    The democrats have no principles. Does Obama have any?

    People without principles never gain respect from anyone. Even if you disagree with a principled person, you may respect them for their stand.

    How many of us have heard "I never liked reagan but at least you knew where he stood."

    The democrats have repeatedly demonstrated over decades that, as a political party, they are bereft of principles. Is Obama following the democratic mold?

    I eagerly await dems and Obama gaining respect for taking principled stands. Oh, the hell with the respect - I'll just take the principled stand!

    When have you ever heard, "I disagree with Obama but at least he stands for something"
