But the public also wants cooperation from the Democrats. At a time when Democratic leaders are preparing to challenge many of Bush's major initiatives, nearly seven in 10 Americans agree that Bush's victory means that congressional Democrats should compromise with him -- even if it means compromising on their party's principles. Only one in four said Democrats must not compromise on things they find objectionable, even if it means less gets accomplished. (from the WashingtonPost)
WTF? 7/10 people are clearly living under a rock, or in some sort of denial about the world they live in. As well as electing Bush, they also elected a Republican Senate and House. Bush can do what he chooses with his own party's support. It's not incumbent on the Democrats to do anything to help him.

It seems that there's a perception that doing something is always better than doing nothing, but for some issues, doing nothing might be the right course of action if the current system is already working.
