Time to stop pandering!

After watching the State of the Union, and the anchors' commentary, I began to wonder about a few things.

Why do we care if we make allies out of enemies? Why should we care if we please the Democrats, we're Republicans, aren't we? Why should we care if the Democrats don't like what we're doing, we have the majority. As I recall, Clinton was not too worried about pleasing us.

So why should we care?
