LOL. It is not the just the Republicans party. And I would say that the Republicans did get the first dance. :)
Compromise has only lead us to settle for things we do not want and matters of principle leave no room for compromise. The Republican party must realize that its only roots lay in conservatism. Conservatism is the only tie that binds together this party, and we must have leaders and elected officials who represent that dogma.
It is time for the Republican party to throw off the limitations of the compromise mentality.
