The bane of conservatism is single-issue idealogues.

They simply will not accept the fact that successful politics is a series of compromises.

When a guy has a gun at your temple, that does tend to become your single issue and focus. Flooding a 50/50 ballot box with 12 million new demonrats tends to offset the balance of power. The three million Reagan amnestied became an instant and activist voting bloc for Demonrats and jointly they have given us the massive invasion we have now.

In fact as Bush, a Harvard grad, surely knows, this amensty will forever cement the USofA as a socialist/communist nation. This would certainly work in the best interests of Bush and friends globalist plans for the USofA, first they have to get rid of the conservative votes of the native population and immigrants with good sense.

Why do WE (conservatives) have to compromise all the time?

You don't see Democrats out there proposing tax cuts, pro-life measures, or cutting gov't.

By series of compromises, do you mean first we compromise on CFR, then on the budget, then on the farm bill, then on the NEA, then on the assualt weapons ban, etc.?

Is someone who is opposed to all of those a "single-issue" idealogue?
