What exactly is "compromise"?

Compromise, to Liberals, is nothing but Republicans caving in and kowtowing to everything from the Democrats and selling their own principles out just for the sake of "bipartisanship" and "reaching across the aisle". This never works and I have no need for Republican sellouts.


You have it backwards
 
Honorable compromise can occur when two or more legitimate problems can be addressed at the same time. For example, rerouting a new highway around protected animal habitat.

Dishonorable compromise occurs when one party agrees to illegitimate and/or unrelated demands by the other party in order to buy that party's support. For example, adding library construction to an agriculture bill.

Reprehensible compromise occurs when legislative votes are purchased by granting exemptions to the subject matter being considered. For example, Obamacare.

Compromise is...compromise is something like bending over and saying "GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT HERE!" Not only are you screwed, but now you're fucked.

And yet the Left keep touting that compromise is a great thing? Screw that.

LOL, I hate sellouts too. Nice pun by the way. I do not espouse myself with the Democratic or Republican party.
 
Compromise is necessary in order for congress to do its business. The problem today is that the two sides are so far apart on their vision for this country, that any compromise causes one side to completely cave in to the other.

We have become two countries---------the marxists collectivists, and the strict constitutionalists.

Maybe its time to split the blanket and see which system works best.

This is why republicans keep losing, because of attitudes like this.

Put down the neocon dictionary and pick up a real dictionary. Compromise means all sides involved get some of what they wanted in an attempt to please everyone.

that only works when the differences are on small insignificant items. our differences today are huge and major. the dems want european socialism and the GOP wants us to follow the vision of the founders. I don't know how those two ideas ever reach compromise.

and for the record, the GOP won big time in 2010.

Really?

So tell me, how does stripping away freedoms, butting in on people's personal lives, helping to bankrupt the country, nation building, and giving weapons to people that hate us fit in with the founders vision?

And before some democrat thanks me, your party is every bit as fucking bad.

Did you just call me a neocon? Both sides compromise to please THEMSELVES, not us. Get the picture?

The things in red have been done by mostly democrats for the last 100 years, the things in green have been done by both parties.

remember, democrats have controlled congress for most of the last 100 years.
