to democrats, either side, what would be the one thing that you told either party to give up or to do to get the job done here? >> well, for one thing, you can give up the phrase, that if you, learn how to compromise, that you're a wimp and let me tell you. if you can't learn to compromise an issue without compromising yourself you shouldn't be in congress. i would say to them, remember, if you have forgotten that you're an american first, not a member of the afl-cio or the nra or the aarp or the unions or the nonunions or righties and lefties and cooks all over this country in the special interest groups, if you can't take them on as an american instead of isolating yourself as a party person that just makes, people know what is going on. you can't believe, erskine and i go all over this country. people are tired of mush and bs. and when these guys get on their behind legs and say we'll do this without touching medicare medicaid,
