TEA Party vs OWS

There was a bit at the very end of this piece that describes what the voters want. Essentially, bipartisanship and compromise...yet in the main body of the text it talks about how voters don't like the OWS movement all that much. So in effect, the voters are saying, "We want to compromise with the party that wants to murder us in our sleep so that maybe they'll only murder us a little bit.".

I'll never understand that supposed 'logic'. You can't compromise with a socialist...what you'll get is the socialist getting his way in the end just the same, it just might take him a little longer to do so.

Tsk.  "The voters" want bipartisan compromise, do they?  Which voters might that be, 'cause I never heard a conservative/Constitutionalist demand that?

I think what the Author is describing is the middle-of-the-road-squishies and the leftists. Though in fairness there is a sickening number of people that call themselves conservatives that are all about bipartisanship and compromise.
