Compromise is the greatest crime a Republican can think of. To compromise it to be weak. On the other end of the scale the Democrats will compromise so quickly that a lot of the time they have no standing on anything. It's all because this country is starting it swan song.So the Dems voted for obamacare 60-0 versus Pubs because they love compromise? Please! And that was a huge issue majorly affecting the entire country. That was a disgraceful vote. I won't argue about the Pubs hating compromise now (and it being an issue), but that's largely because the Dems have moved them so far off their original positions. And it's still not enough for progressives who are the bitterest of poor sports if they don't get their way on the tinniest thing. To wit, is ANY issue truly tiny for a progressive? (Ahem, if you've got to get your way on every little, bitty thing then it might be considered political greed -- just saying).
Personally, I can't name one issue where the Pubs are to the right of the Pubs from the 80's? Can you?
