Which is it Wolfie? Are you...{GASP!!} "compromising" because of "practical considerations?"
PS, I couldn't help myself! I still love you Wolfie.

The party know most people think this way. That is why they will never put up a truly conservative candidate. They don't have to. All they have to do is remind you how much worse it would be if the other side is elected.
The campaign pledge for the Republicans has become a promise to take away fewer guns and fewer rights than the Democrats would. Protecting your rights is no longer in the equation.

We don't live in a digital universe JB. There are many shades of grey between black and white.
That said: When it comes down to a choice between Romney and Obama my definition of Compromise:
stands as vivid proof of its efficacy.
Only problem is you will teach the Republican party nothing by not voting, same as the Democrats. They take silence as approval and only understand protest, raised voices, and voting. That is why both the Dems and the old guard GOP fear the Tea Party.
So you support and vote for the one who edges things in the direction you want it to go. You keep doing that until you get there.
Obama in a 2ndg term could appoint 3 justices. No Romney fan but i'll take him over a stacked court any day
^^This but just because he appoints them doesn't mean he'll get them.The senate has to approve appointees and most pundits believe that the Repubs will win the Senate in 2012 while keeping the house.That would make a second obama term a "lame duck" one.
Oh and ABO(anybody but obama).
That is what we are hoping for, especially if we can get enough real conservatives and anybody but Obama. Then maybe we can make some real progress.
Oh I don't stand silent. I voice my opposition directly to the party. When they ignore that, I'm fully prepared to watch them loose election after election until it gets through their thick skulls. The Republican party and the Democratic party are two sides of the same coin. You can flip em all you want, but you can't avoid either one of them and they know it. The only thing they understand is loosing. Neither of them like it and in the end, it's all you have to threaten them with.
Better shape them most of the rest of the country.

The only real way to change them, at least until we get some more viable parties, is to keep supporting the candidates you prefer and forcing them to listen. When I decide who I will support for Prez, I will donate directly to his campaign but not the GOP party and will vote for them in the primary. Now when it does come to the election I will vote for ABO even if it means holding my nose while I do it. Simply because ANYBODY has to be better. Heck leaving the office vacant would be better. At least if we do get control of both congressional houses there will not be a VETO to override.
