Tim Griffin & GOP’s Failure To Compromise

Congressman Tim Griffin made the Washington Post online today over a Twitter exchange with one of their writers.

The writer, Greg Sargent, used the back-and-forth with Griffin to illustrate that Congressional Republicans are refusing to compromise in any way on the sequestration issue.

From today’s article:

I just had a fascinating twitter exchange with GOP Rep. Tim Griffin of Arkansas that sheds light on the true nature of the impasse over the sequester. It confirms once again a fact about this that keeps getting lost in the noise, which is that there is no compromise solution that is acceptable to Republicans.

This twitter exchange [with Griffin] suggests yet again that there is no remotely reasonable compromise offer that Dems could make that Republicans are willing to accept. It’s inescapably clear why we are at an impasse. The only way to avoid seeing this is to willfully ignore the basic facts of the situation.
