So this Murdock fellow is not coming up with anything new; he is only parroting what his handlers are telling him to say.

So what we will really find out is: Is this what the voters really want? Someone who will sit there and draw their pay and do nothing? Compromising involves thinking and not compromising involves doing nothing but sitting there and grinning when told to do so.

Nice work if you can get it.
