This country was built by great but flawed men who compromised on the issue of chattel slavery in order to secure their freedom from a tyrannical government who gave them no legal recourse. Washington and Jefferson were both slave owners.
Then compromise. Run conservative candidates with conservative values and we will vote for them. Govern as a conservative and we keep voting for them.
That’s the compromise for us to stay/rejoin the gop. Take it or leave it.
Your guy with the 'compromise' lost.
Your party will never get near the reins of power again. 2014 is going to look pretty bleak for the GOP.
Too bad they didn't go right, instead of left. But no, the liberal purists in the party insisted on 'compromise'. So the rest of the country gets to suffer from the liberal GOP.
