Let us assume you are correct.
On what issues of substance has that "super liberal" group compromised or even suggested they were open to compromise ?
The WH is steamrolling every progressive item with no consultation or attempt to compromise. Boehner found out that the left wants everyone out of their way.
So, without the Tea Party or Tea Party mentality, we are on the express highway to socialism and Marxism.
While neither extreme is welcome, since the left will not in any way compromise, what is left ?
