why can you not discuss the substance and the principles of the issues and conservatism? what are you so afraid of?

Umm E, that is a tactic call diversion. You are not answering my question you are simply throwing out another meaningless insult to avoid having to actually address the point. That is the 2nd time in a row now you have used this tactics. Are you going to discuss the point or simply keep venting?

Again, IS it "meaningless GOP rhetoric" when Newt Gingrich is being nice to Hillary Clinton and starts talking up the same line on Global Warming she is talking or is he betraying Conservative principals and values so now he is totally and forever to excoriated by the 100%ers?

The values and principals of "Conservatism" are not simply something a self elected set of "True Conservatives" and define for themselves and then start accusing everyone else of being hypocrites because they do not share the "100%ers" fervor or point of view. So the question the 100%ers have to answer.

What are you willing to compromise to get those people to support you on Immigration or Spending or whatever? From the self chosen title of "100%ers" it appears the answer is NOTHING. Very well since you have no interest on compromise what you demand is abject surrender to YOUR self defined values and principals.

Umm NO, not going to do that. So now what are you going to do? Argue more, yell more, posting more is not going to change that position. YOU have your values and principals and the other people have have theirs. So since they at odds now what do you do? Apparently NOTHING but be politically irrelevant and angry since to "Compromise" would be to "betray Conservative Principals and Values".

People who disagree with the 100%ers aren't not "betraying the Conservative cause", they simply have a different viewpoint.

So you asked me a question. "What am I willing to compromise on?"

Trade. Frankly what people on the Right are calling "Fair Trade" is economically, screaming idiocy. I cannot think of anything MORE fundamentally ANTI Conservative that advocating MORE Government regulation over the Free Market. Yet that is exactly what the "Fair Traders" are demanding.

It is a recurring thread in American History. Rather then adapting and evolving, the economically obsolete always try desperately to lock the economy is some sort of statist model where nothing will ever change and they can use the force of Govt to make everyone else to pay more for inferior products so THEIR comfortable little world never ever has to change.

Capitalism thrives on the creative destruction of the market. The coming of automobiles destroyed the carriage whip and horse breeding industries. Should we have imposed some sort of "Fair trade" to keep those industries around?

However, I need those people to support what I want on Judges or the War or taxes so I realize I will have to accept the GOP is going to do some things I do not like to address THEIR "values and principals". So E, what are YOU willing to compromise on?
