Effective leaders put talented, intelligent people in key staff positions and rely on them to sift through the intricacies of policies. Pete 'Tax Increase' Wilson?
Warren 'I-Never-Saw-An-Abortion-I-Didn't-Like' Buffett?
Robert 'Greenpeace' Kennedy, Jr.?
While so many are busy standing on principle, demanding full conservative alleginace (which is what the demorats demand) the other side is setting there very happly eating our lunch. If you want purity go to a convent if you want to win elections and have a say in the country go with the winner. 75% is better than 0%. Take you wins when and how you can. Don't get wrapped around the axle of "conservative correctness."
