Compromise with each other? You mean the conservatives should give in to the those among us who wish to support a woman's right to choose, gay rights, gun control, restrictions on free speech, insecure borders, etc, etc, ie, compromise with liberal positions which is exactly the same thing as compromising with liberals? Don't you see where your compromise is leading? Sorry, but some things are simply not open to debate, not open to negotiation and not open to compromise. I'll make my stand for God, country, family, life and Liberty! Thank you very much.

Well, I got my answer: your choice is failure in 2008, right?

FGS, that rant is just boilerplate and solves nor answers anything.

Well, I believe that if you compromise with liberals or for liberal issues you get liberalism. I don't see liberals compromising for more freedom, only less. Compromising for less freedom is failure not success. I'd rather fight for what's right than surrender to (compromise with) what's evil.

Compromise on political issues like taxes, spending, budgets, economic matters, government fiscal or political policy is one thing, but compromise on issues pertaining to the basic and fundamental rights to life and liberty are quite another. Seems like some people are in an awful hurry to write off our must precious rights as meaningless trifles. I thought conservatives had more spunk than that.

Well, I see you are firmly planted in the camp that life and liberty are meaningless trifles to be negotiated away for temporary political advantage. Thank God the majority of conservatives are not such weaklings.
