Thank you, thank you, thank you, Senator Roy Blunt!

I'm stunned.

I saw this, last evening:

Republican senator says time for compromise

(Reuters) - A top Republican lawmaker said Monday it was time for Washington to learn how to compromise again so the country can solve its deepening problems.

"I'm bothered by our politics generally that suggest that if you don't get exactly what you want, that's somehow a failure," said Senator Roy Blunt, a member of his chamber's Republican leadership and the former second-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives.

Blunt, who is Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's liaison to the Senate, spoke at the Reuters Washington Summit, where political leaders are discussing the pressing issues currently confronting U.S. politicians.


Wow.

That is refreshing.

A Republican--our own Senator, no less--calling for true compromise in Washington.

You apparently can teach these old ones new tricks.

More seriously, thank you, Senator. Please keep this up, if you would and legislate for all of us and not the corporations, instead.
