COMPROMISE is what GOT us where we are. We should NOT compromise on Constitutional issues....which is what has been done. Screw your view Jeb, and please, just go away!
First we got Bush 1 accusing RR of vodoo economics, then his thousand pts of lite. Then we got Bush 2 the compassionate conservative. Now we have to listen to “pastel” Jeb? I think NOT!
Compromise itself is necessary and can be good, but it’s not an end in itself. You compromise where you must to work toward your ultimate goals. You set priorities, things you can sacrifice and other things you hold dear. Jeb Bush and many other moderates seem to think compromise itself is the goal.
I often write how I’m a true moderate. I’m willing to compromise. The government is spending $1.5 trillion per year it doesn’t have, so we have to cut that much. I propose the immediate elimination of the Dept. of Education and Dept. of Energy, all green energy and farm subsidies, all corporate and private welfare programs, etc. However, I’m ready and willing to settle for substantial reductions, over time, in all of the above. See? That’s compromise!
