Why are Republicans acting like they own America again ?

It seems to me that now that Republicans will have to do something called governing instead of just saying No to everything since they now have a stake in what happens to our country and I do not want filibuster and veto's to be the rule of the land we MUST get something done to help this country otherwise we will be mired in this recession forever so I think it is time to compromise of a few things so we can all move ahead we are not always right and they are not always wrong somewhere in the middle is the answer and not from the extremes
