Only you can compromise your values by the choices that you make. No one does it to you. YOU choose.

Yes, but unless you pencil in Jesus on every ballot, you are always compromising your values when you vote anyway. And there is no doubt that situations arise where one has a better chance of averting the greatest evil by voting for a less than optimal candidate. The moral question of whether a shot at avoiding the great evil, i.e. an Obama, or always voting for the candidate who is closest to perfect is one worthy of consideration. I am willing to concede that, given the situation, either is possible for a person of morality to take, and so regardless of whether a person chooses one or the other I am not going to second guess them for it.
