That's the theme being spread around on various talk show, news channels, etc, wherever the rejected Democrats can get on to show their faces.

They still don't get it.

The notion that the American people want the parties to work together, doesn't stand up under scrutiny. Republicans tried to "work with" the Democrats from 2000-2006. They increased spending, enacted new entitlements, etc. And how did the American people react? They voted few and fewer Republicans back into office, in particular kicking out the ones who were the most accommodating to the leftist extremists, and finally booted them out of all majorites in 2006.

Only when the Democrats went wild, enacting hugely socialistic policies and spending at levels that made the Republicans look frugal, did the American people turn on them as they had turned on the Republcans... but much more so, kicking out more Democrats than has been done since the 1930s. And at the same time, the people rejected a number of "moderate" (i.e. liberal) Republicans (Crist, Angle, Whitman etc.) who had said the would work with the leftist extremists.

The American people do NOT want Republicans to "work with" the Democrats. They know from bitter experience, that Democrats never "work with" Republicans, but only push greater and greater degrees of extreme-left policies. And that's what the people demonstrably DO NOT WANT.

The American people want lower spending, less regulation of everything under the sun, lower taxes, and in general less government. They have had it with the Democrats. Republicans, who have spent big in the past and enacted more government, are very much under probation: They have promised to mend their ways, but talk is cheap. If they STICK TO their promises, and genuinely become conservative (a marked change from what they ahve been for the last 10 years), and go back to their longstanding small-government ways, then they might be allowed to keep their seats, instead of getting booted out as they were (deservedly) in 2006.

The ball is in the Republicans' court. They'd better not fumble it, as they did after the 1994 elections... or they will never merit people's votes again.

And working with the Democrats, as the losing party fervently hopes, is the fumble the now-majority Republicans must avoid like the plague.

The election was a crystal clear veto of leftwing policies - the people want them overturned.
