Why Democrats Always Win

Why? Compromise, that’s why.

Have you ever noticed how the media worships the words “bipartisan” and “support” when used consecutively in a sentence? That is because Democrats have mastered the art of compromise. Election cycles feature politicians (from both parties) proclaiming loud and clear that they have records proving they can work with “both sides” to move America forward. Common, everyday, hard-working American citizens are often quoted by the media saying, “We just want both sides to work together.”

What a load of crap.

Here is how compromise works on Capital Hill – Republicans start off wanting no increases in budgets, spending, debt ceilings, tax increases or anything else. Democrats, however, always want massive increases in all of the above. That is when, on cue, the media enters the fray and has breaking news about just receiving word of a possible “compromise.” As soon as the magic word “compromise” enters the picture it is all over. It is at this point that we can expect either John McCain or Lindsay Graham to suddenly appear on all network and cable news outlets as if he were suddenly conjured from behind a puff of smoke at a David Copperfield performance. Both sides then work together and reach across the aisle to move America forward in a bipartisan manner.

Perhaps an example is in order. A Democrat will want the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to spend one billion dollars to study the number of male prostitutes in Vietnam.* Republicans will yell, scream, rant, rave and beat their collective chests about how this is an enormous waste of tax payer money. So, the Democrats will gently whisper compromise in the ears of the Republicans -- in very soft, sultry and alluring tones -- and Republicans will then join hands with Democrats and they will reach across the aisle (not to mention probably do hideous things to each other in the shower) so they can work together to move America forward. Instead of one billion dollars both sides compromise and NIH only gets $442,340 to study the commercial queer industry of a third world communist country.**

Democrats: "One billion dollars."

Republicans: "Zero dollars."

Democrats (whispering in those very soft, sultry and alluring tones): "Compromise."

Republicans: "Oopsie! I dropped my soap!"

Democrats: "$442,340."

Republicans: "DEAL!!!!!"

Now you tell me who came out on top (in the shower or otherwise).

*The Coburn Report, put out by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-OK, detailed this as an actual U.S. Government expenditure in 2010. ** This was the actual amount of your tax dollars spent for this look at midnight cowboys in Vietnam.

This practice of "reach arounds" has got to be stopped.

No more RINOs.

No More Reach Arounds.

Any time you compromise with radical liberals, the operating window gets moved to the left. Ergo, they have won that round, and will now be emboldened to try again.

Negotiations always end up somewhere between the two starting points. If you ask $500,000 for your house don’t expect an offer of $600,000. Somebody might offer $450,00 then the price will be somewhere between. Spending always go up because Republicans usually defend the current levels or modest increases while Democrats push for larger increases. In that way government spending increases.
The only way the budget ceiling would have not been increased would be for the Republicans to have insisted that it be LOWERED.
When good compromises with evil evil wins. And when evil compromises with good evil wins. The GOP has compromised us to the point of collapse. They were never the party of no. Just the party of not so much just yet. Today’s GOP is to the left of FDR and LBJ. Will tomorrow’s GOP be to the left of Obama?

The DemonRAT party has become a front for the CPUSA.

They are using the Marxian Dialectic to advance their insidious goals, and it is working.

They have had so much success, that we adherents to the conservative ideals embodied in our nation’s founding documents are now in the minority.

The communists own the government school collectives.

They own most of the universities.

They own the most of the news media.

They own most of the “entertainment” business.

We conservatives have been effectively marginalized by the prevailing culture.

The only solution I see is for conservatives to have lots of babies, while that’s still allowed, and to educate them privately, either at home or in parent organized cooperatives, or in parochial and private schools, while that’s still allowed.

We need to sacrifice our two-income lifestyles for the future, if we want to have any chance of returning to the conservative principles that made this so great a nation.

‘THEY” always win because We the People don’t understand the power We have in the States to say “NO”

In 1939,“compromising” and “bipartisanship” between German Leftist Hitler and Russian Leftist Stalin destroyed Poland thus starting WWII.

As a friend of mine used to say, “To compromise is to communize”.

In the beginning there was “Right” and “Wrong”, and we’ve been compromising in the WRONG direction ever since.

Conservatives MUST LEARN HOW TO FIGHT!!!

You can’t compromise with evil as the results is always tainted by it.

‘We just want both sides to work together’. Until otherwise serious, hard-working Americans begin to take our political system seriously we will have no fundamental Restoration. They seem to think they can pick and choose candidates in the voting booth like products in the grocery store, based on appearance and emotional appeal. They roll their eyes when there is a serious ideological disagreement and proclaim their desire that ‘the two sides just get along’. Throughout history, civil wars have been fought to resolve internal political issues; our system was designed to provide us with a bloodless alternative to bullets, gangs and armies. It took me ten years to educate my wife that this is not a game of checkers; that it is serious business played for the highest of stakes. I can only hope that we all have been trying to educate the otherwise intelligent poltical waifs within our individual circles. We must, for the Left is happy with ignorance and the public schools stopped teaching history and civics decades ago.

compromise:

the art of giving evil an inch, then a mile, then another mile.

Where does it all end?

A read of history always tells us.

--------------------------

I AGREE WITH THAT

Barack Jackwagon Obama's 2012 Campaign Agenda: More double-speak, more taxes, more debt, more unemployment, hello Marxist America. Employment is an impediment to any good Marxist's objectives.

Winning rule in 2012: Direct political attack on Obama!

Marxist Barry has zero connection to the USA that most of us grew up in, and couldn't care less about anything constitutional.

Zer0 transparency.
Zer0 responsibility.
Zer0 accountability.

Conservative Republicans need to expose this fragile, thin veil of a presidential image, held in place by a teleprompter and the piss-stream media.

Obama, Lenin and Marx
Marx, Lenin and Jackwagon Obama

“What is mine is mine, what is yours is negotiable.” The Dems and the Soviets “compromise” the same way.

That is because the Republican never propose anything that the Dems compromise. Itis always the other way around
