a center-right influence in a good direction overall Your words betray you, and are actually quite illustrative of exactly what I'm talking about. Sorry WOSG, but this mindset is exactly the problem. In a game of compromise, evil always wins.

There's me and Reagan on one side and you on another. I'm sticking with Reagan, thank you, and not moronic hair-splitters who go after a good guy like Jed Babbin.

""When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "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. "I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.' "If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it. - Ronald Reagan

Funny, considering the fact that conservatives are now getting ZERO, thanks to the compromised state of our "leadership."
