...some compromise will be needed, at least to get elected.

No, you are wrong. We've tried compromise for years. It doesn't work. Conservatives give more and more and liberals never give an inch.

Don't get that line of BS started - I'm not wrong, you are being short sighted - The only President that was close to being Conservative in modern times was Reagan and even he was not 100% Conservative. Those that think that there are 55-60 million Conservatives in this country are mistaken. Sadly, your response to typical here with tons of others to probably follow - that's doesn't change reality as reality has no feeling - it just is, get used to it.

Never! I will not compromise and I don't understand why you insist I do so.
My children are conservatives, most of their friends are conservative. I don't think "compromise" is the answer.

What ethic do I have to give up to get "our guys" elected?
Government payments for abortion on demand? Government taking over businesses?

I refuse to compromise and move to the vaguely describeld "middle".

I think you are mostly correct . . . particularly about there not being a majority of conservatives in the country.

However, there is a core of Bible Believing folks who could be persuaded by a suitably wise and moving conservative candidate. Sarah Palin showed us that much.

However, at some point compromise we have ceased to be what we must be—both in terms of conservatism and patriotism. At some point, compromise is counterproductive and evil in and of itself.

I’m more for leaning toward MORE conservatism than less . . . just not foolishly.
