My point exactly.

If there were a candidate who was devoutly committed to reversing Pelosi’s health boondoggle, cap & tax and bring our economy and jobs back on track, but this guy would cave on say gay marriage, would we support him?

We’re going to have to compromise somewhere. I hate it, but it’s true.

Thats why for me I look at all the candidates who are running for a office and see what their positions are. I know I will never agree with all of them on the issues.

So for me I support the candidate who I believe I agree with the most and will be the best person for the job.

We aren't the ones who need to compromise. You do.

Question: Give me an example where the dimocrats have ever compromised on anything. They will follow one another off a cliff even if they know it's there.

Conservatives are individualists and that is why we "seem" to always be barking at each other. Also, when one is standing on principles, as most conservatives do, one doesn't compromise on those principles without betraying their own values and beliefs. My line in the sand is abortion and gay marriage.

I would not. Not because I demand perfection (I don't), but because not all issues are of equal importance. Marriage is the foundation of civilization, and the attack upon it must be repelled.

Compromise is possible (but obviously not desired) on CAFE standards, or tax rates, or corporate regulation, or land management policy...but not marriage.
