The current crop of Republicans isn’t the same. Reagan would get stabbed in the back by this bunch. Why negotiate with them?

[right way right]

There is a difference between a compromise and a cave in.

I wish the RINOs would take it to heart and compromise with us.

Sigh.

Hey Johnny, they’re at it again...

[Fledermaus]

Very selective and completely out of context. When it came to “compromise” that destroyed principles Reagan stood hard and fast against it. As he put it, “to draw distinct lines” in the party.

You are peddaling the RINO version of compromise which is giving the opponent, liberal pieces of human scum, 35-40% of what they want (which is usually started out so far to the left any compromise seems prudent when it’s twice what they thought they could get) and that is nothing but a slower rate to destruction.

When it came to defining the difference between conservative, constitutional freedom with statist tyranny, Reagan would take a defeat any day regardless of his party. Sort of like Ted Cruz.

There you go again, trying to convince conservatives to vote for your liberal republicans.

Just a reminder that your liberal republicans lifted the borrowing cap this last week. There is NO borrowing limit for the US government. That came out of the republican majority House of Representatives.

That's what compromise with liberals gets you.

But keep on posting. You harden conservatives to your evil compromising ways, and provide a place to exchange information debunking your claims.

And nothing can change that I didn't vote for Cornyn in the primary. Or Bush. Or Dewhurst.

And won't in the general, should they make it that far.

“Compromise” was a dirty word to them and they wouldn’t face the fact that we couldn’t get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don’t get it all, some said, don’t take anything.

Unfortunately, the traitorous bastards in the GOP are giving the enemy everything and getting nothing at all.

What do I do if the politician in question compromises against me over 3/4 of the time? Support him anyway because he has (R) after his name?

[Jim Robinson]

No compromise! No surrender! You don’t have the stomach to fight the RINOs, get the hell out!!

[ansel12]

To save time, why not just tell us your point?

What “compromise” are you wanting to win us to?

[nickcarraway]

Good point. Do you know what it means? You can honestly say that Republicans haven't been right about anything in 26 years? Elected Republicans haven't given Republican voters one little scrap.

Why in your opinion do conservatives always have to compromise, but Democrats never have to?

I think you confused some definitions. Compromise does not man surrender.

[Vindication]

Gotta hand it to you. You really have a charming way of convincing people. Exactly like your ilk in the GOPe! Keep it up.

[nickcarraway]

Can you come out from behind the curtain and answer a question honestly? Why would you be a Republican if you think Republicans are bad guys and always wrong?

When you're looking to negotiate a compromise with the opposition, you should have a strong negotiator who is actually working for your side.
Then, a half way compromise may actually be workable.
If you send someone who for all practical purposes is a fan of the opposition (John McCain for example) what kind of "compromise" can you expect?

“I don’t know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, ‘We must broaden the base of our party’ – when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.” – Ronald Reagan, CPAC 1975

[Nifster]

The difference between Reagan and your boot licking pice of Texas dirt Cornyn is that Mr. Reagan had principles from which he never walked back. Cornyn is a sleazy jerk who loves the power that being in DC gives him. Reagan never cared who got the credit. Cornyn only cares about getting the credit.

You best bet at this point buck is to give it up

Even wiser words, by the same man no less:

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan
