If you have principles, you have to know that some folks will have opposite views, and simply will not vote for you. So, why try to compromise and hope that they like you? They aren't going to. So, stick with your principles and let people know where you stand. People will be attracted to a politician who isn't slimy.
This guy gets it.
You are so right!
I look at it this way:
If you have no enemies, you’re not doing anything.
One Guy did so much He got hung on a cross by his enemies.
