Why has "COMPROMISE" become a dirty word to Republican Conservatives?

[Rustic]

Government programs don't help the poor, it subsidizes them. Education and jobs help the poor.

We subsidize the wealthy but you are OK with "subsidies" in that situation....too bad the GOP has no plans for education and or jobs

Look at Jobs Dem VS GOP

So, what's your point???

Has anyone ever heard a Democrat make such statements? Anarchy is not what the founding fathers intended. Compromise is how a democracy is able to function. Compromise is how our Constitution was written and ratified. What the far right now calls RINOs is what the Republican Party used to be. Radical extremist obstructionism is no way to govern.

Definition of COMPROMISE

a : settlement of differences by arbitration or by consent reached by mutual concessions

b : something intermediate between or blending qualities of two different things

compromise | a way of reaching agreement in which each person or group gives up something that was wanted in order to end an argument or dispute

consensus | a general agreement about something : an idea or opinion that is shared by all the people in a group

What compromise have the Democrats done, Adolph?

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

The problem is that the GOP appeal to racists. They cater to them.

Here is the pathetic and pitiful thing...I can very well understand the allegiance of wealthy folks t the GOP....that is Logical Reasonable etc because the GOP represents the interest of the very wealthy....but to see minimum wage Southern voters lined up to vote GOP is beyond pitiful.......

Kennedys and Rockefellers are democrats. Nancy Pelosi is no pauper and neither is John Kerry.

Very true

And they are willing to vote to raise their own taxes while wealthy Republicans vote to slash programs that help the poor

Government programs don't help the poor, it subsidizes them. Education and jobs help the poor.

Feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, caring for the sick does not help them?

Only to conservatives

People need personal responsibility and jobs, not handouts as a first step

I and many of us conservatives HAVE NO problem with bipartisan actions THAT don't VIOLATE our principles!
But compromise just to have an agreement and NOT following fundamental principles is just plain idiocy!
Should people compromise on the Federal budget that includes items such as these, just to get an agreement? These expenditures VIOLATE my principles!

• The National Institute of Health’s Center for Alternative and Complimentary Medicine spent $387,000 to study the effects of Swedish massages on rabbits.
• The Department of Interior spent $10,000 to monitor the growth rate of saltmarsh grass. In other words, the government is paying people to watch grass grow. On the bright side, they have not started paying people to watch paint dry.
• The National Science Foundation has granted more than $200,000 to a research project that is trying to determine how and why Wikipedia is sexist. Wikipedia’s War on Woman?
• The National Institute of Health funded a study to see if mothers love dogs as much as they love kids. Regardless of the results, this experiment cost taxpayers $371,026.
• The federal government has granted $804,254 for the development of a smartphone game called “Kiddio: Food Fight.” The game is intended to teach parents how to convince their children to try and eat new healthier food choices.
• The National Endowment for the Humanities has provided $47,000 for undergraduate classes that teach students about laughing and humor.
• The National Science Foundation spent $856,000 to teach mountain lions how to walk on treadmills as part of a research project whose aim was to better understand mountain lions’ instincts.

I mean to compromise the funding of such totally irrelevant non defense of our nation expenditures is stupid!

It's not government's job to feed people, run healthcare, or provide housing for poor people. Get an education and a job.

The Government job is to make sure the fetus is born and then when the fetus is actually among us say "hey ex-Fetus we do not love you...you are a parasite ...you go die somewhere but remember "Jesus Loves you"

 

[Sally Vater]

Its pathetic the use Robert Byrd who at the end of his career had a 100 percent rating from Black organizations to pretend that now in 2015 its the Democrats who are racist...this insane clown posse is doing that even as Democrats have the only Black President and the only Black Attorney General and the only female Black attorney general ...

A republican appointed the first black man and woman as Secretary of State.

And this is what people like you obviously support

Or do you also condone this:

What a pile of dung. It's not government's job to take responsibility for your life when you are an adult. Poor thing. Government's job is to protect you. It's not my government's job to use my money to pay for legalized murder of innocent defenseless human beings.

Mr. Lincoln qould gave done better to READ the Constitution rather than using it for toilet paper. He might have understood the extremely limited LEGITIMATE powers of the Federal Government.

Liberals living in glass houses should not throw stones. Don't even think about lecturing the art of compromise to anyone.

Democrats took over congress in 2006, and were really eager to help Bush spend. Short memory.

 

[Rustic]

s. Why else would republicans be blamed for every government shutdown?

Oh that is because the debt ceiling was lifted repeatedly for Moron 43 but when the Darkie became President all of a sudden "we cannot raise the debt limit on account the President is Black and we decided to make his Presidency fail"

Aww! The race card. What are you a child??
That card is worn out anyone can see through that, you need a better poker face.

When I was a little kid I used that same race card... For my status in life.

Guess what it was unfounded every time...

You think there is no racism you are a retard...

Of course there is. Just not everytime there is a disagreement as the progressives think.

I see no race in my disagreement just an overbearing government and an enthusiastic commander in chief the reason it being overbearing.

I have good training, the Indian tribes can't agree on almost anything... It's in our nature. So, yes, I use critical thinking no matter the "race". I will be the first to voice my disagreement to any fellow Indian if I don't agree , race be damned.
It's not the first line of defence for me, it way down the line... As it should be.
There are more important things in life.

Was Planned Parenthood’s founder racist? - Salon.com

Birth control pioneer Margaret Sanger is back in the news this week thanks to GOP presidential candidate and abortion rights opponent Herman Cain, who claimed on national television that Planned Parenthood, the visionary global movement she founded nearly a century ago, is really about one thing only: “preventing black babies from being born.” Cain’s outrageous and false accusation is actually an all too familiar canard — a willful repetition of scurrilous claims that have circulated for years despite detailed refutation by scholars who have examined the evidence and unveiled the distortions and misrepresentations on which they are based (for a recent example,see this rebuttal from The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler).

Margaret Sanger called black people "weeds".

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." Margaret Sanger
