WTF does that have to do with this thread?
"Compromise before principle, profits regardless of consequences."
You should heed Reagan's advice:
"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it."Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.
"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'
"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.
With those you agree 60-70-80% of the time you still stand a chance to influence to your way of thinking; with those you agree 10% of the time you stand no chance. Vote offensively (for the strongest conservative) in the primaries; vote defensively (for the candidate least likely to do harm) in the general.
Do you seriously think it would be harder to influence a President McCain or Senator Graham than President Obama or Senator Reid? Ideological purists like you are one of the reasons conservatism is getting whacked; re-read that quote by Reagan and think long and hard about it...
What Reagan said applies when the other side moves your way. However, now the GOP compromises by yielding and allowing the Liberals to dictate everything. They might get some minor point taken out, but there is nothing of a conservative nature in the final bill.
