equal negotiation with surrender is stupid

and dangerous. We can see that MaCain-Palin will always try to push their way, not considering other people's benefit. This will cause disaster once they are in great power and control, they think only they are always right, everybody else are always wrong. a typical american arrogant way. It may make some people feel good, but it is bad for the country as a whole.
Flexibity can go a long way for a politicin to achieve something.
