By why is it that only conservatives are expected to compromise?
Because the calculus is to run the most ELECTABLE conservative, one that can win. The issue then becomes the interpretation of “electable”. Rick Santorum is not electable IMO. Plenty on FR will disagree with me but I don’t consider Palin electable either. She would be the unappeasables candidate, however. Which candidate would you like to see the GOPe compromise on? Ben Carson would not be approved by the unappeasables.
Ask the recently conservatively benighted Dr.Carson.....why he shouldn’t compromise on his anti-2ndAmend. stance to be more platable to those whom he presumes to speak for?
Conservatives are all in a thrall because he is intelligent,,kind,giving, and speaks thoughtfully, yet...somehow..because the song is palatable to the ears...well...we can be malleable on the palladium of all civil liberties.....
