Norm, since you have not complied and tried to define the terms, allow me: I believe you are using the term 'compromise' with different definitions. I would use the followign term:

• 'Compromise': To mean coming to terms with your opponent in a way that does not involve either party abandoning their core requirement(s), and in a manner in which both sides concede equal amounts of less-important requirements.
• 'Unequal Compromise': To mean coming to terms with your opponent in a way that does not involve either party abandoning their core requirement(s), however, one party makes few or no concessions on their less-important requirements.
• 'Concession': To mean coming to terms with your opponent in a way that involves you abandoning some or all of your core requirement(s) with no similar abandonment by your opponent.
• 'Cooperation': To mean working with someone who might normally be an opponent, against a greater opponent... the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' concept. The WWII Churchill/Stalin analogy would correctly fall in this definition.

Based on these definitions, I bet you agree much more than you disagree.

Prove me wrong. Or right.

Commence.

NL doesn’t want to properly define the terms, because that would expose the weakness in his argument and knock him off his self imposed high horse.

Compromise in the modern venacular means Republicans bowing scraping and bending a knee to whatever liberals demand.

It means conservatives forget that electing pro abort repubs has a direct effect of very dead babies.

It means out military gets sexually assaulted in record numbers with the full blessing (in the idealistic sense) of the last GOP candidate

It means any number of things we all know by heart. So I ask why is it exactly we should abandon our principles to gain the benefits of vaccusucked baby parts, buggered servicemen, dead Mexicans and dead SEALS et all?

Because that aint straw. It’s real and the very direct result of electing ‘compromise’ Just so we could WIN!

Look what we won.
