Christie calls on House GOP to compromise
WREX-TV / The Associated Press ^ | November 17, 2014 | Steve Peoples

WASHINGTON (AP) - Making a rare Capitol Hill appearance, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Monday encouraged the GOP's newest members of Congress to embrace compromise and common ground as they shift to a governing role following their party's midterm rout.

The Republican governor, who is contemplating a 2016 presidential bid, addressed newly elected House Republicans and their spouses during a closed-door orientation luncheon inside the Capitol. The often-outspoken Christie declined to answer questions from reporters afterward, but attendees said offered a distinctly bipartisan tone.

"He did talk about compromise and finding common ground," said incoming Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J....

Did Christie close the Bridge to the 21st Century again?

Compromise is having all you have taken in four steps, with your consent, instead of all at once, without your consent.

They demand $100.00 - you compromise at $50.00

They demand $50.00 - you compromise at $25.00

They demand 25.00 - you compromise at $12:50

They tell you $12.50 is not worth fighting over, and you give them $12.50.

$100.00 is gone, through compromise.

No, Chrissie. Compromising with bad policy is like adding a little sewage to your drinking water.

ESAD Christie. There’s no such thing as “compromise” with a Democrat. “Compromise” means “capitulate” to a Democrat. They haven’t a clue as to the real meaning of “Compromise”.

Anybody in your position, in your field of endeavor, and I mean politics should already know it, therefore you aren’t worth the nod for 2016.

I wonder if anyone on this website is truly surprised at this.

We expect GOP-E Republicans to behave this way. The answer is to encourage the freshmen to remember why they were elected.

Idiots like Chris Christie can’t change that fact no matter how hard they huff and puff.

Isn’t it time to update the word compromise to conpromise?

If he called on the Democrats to compromise as well, his silly posturing and political grandstanding would soon be demonstrated as nonsense.

And we don't shut up as long as they're a majority. They won by espousing constitutional conservative principles. These aren't starting points for negotiation, they're principles. By definition, a principle (a deeply held belief) cannot suffer compromise.

And we never forget that until they prove themselves, they aren't even "the lesser of two evils" After the disgusting primary runoff against McDaniel, I don't even like them more than I like the dems anymore. This election gave them enough rope. They can either hang themselves with it or use it to climb out of the morass they've created.

Yeah, compromise, that's it. If you want to make sure you lose the 2016 presidency.

A compromise between sewage and pure water is still sewage.

Meeting the other party half way on principle is madness. Here is the Kerry version:
