No, but that is my point. Conservative Christian need to learn the art of compromise. It's how you win in politics. If my faction dominates that majority party, I have to give the minority factions in my party more of their agenda that the minority party will give them, otherwise they will join the minority party and together they will become the majority party, leaving me out of power.
Compromising one's principles is not well regarded in Christianity, but it is essential in politics.
Some Conservatives seem happier to lose on a pure platform, than to win on a compromise platform. While I have little affinity for Northeaster Liberal RINOs, I'd rather they were GOP than Dim. What they have to be taught is that to win some issues that are important to them, they must support the party even when they don't like it.
One who is willing to compromise time and again stands for nothing but remaining in power. If I continue to compromise my principles to stay on top, eventually I'm going to find myself in a position that I'm no better than the other guy.

Or they split the vote and become a third party. It's about time we have 3, 4, even 5 parties. No one party has a majority and that event that all small government conservatives desire happens. Gridlock. Nobody wins in Washington and nothing gets done. The only bills that are passed then are last minute vital concerns.
