I just put forth a true principle. If you placed yourself or your candidate within that principle, that’s not my fault. Why not look at what I said and tell me why my principle is false. That would be a better defense than accusing me of something I didn’t do.
Those who lead with compromise are nothing but a weak link.
With the divide along party lines as it is in this country, if you think any President would dream of beginning their term without the possibility and the ability for compromise, then you are...
a. not facing reality.
b. hopelessly pig-headed.
c. mistaking your own dogma for facts.
I'll paraphrase what Brit Hume said yesterday. He said that it was unbelievable to him that now that McCain is most likely the GOP nominee, that conservatives are asking him to move further right and jump thru hoops to try and win their support. He said he would think they instead would be saying,"Do whatever you need to do to win the election. Win the election, we are with you!"
What Brit didn't realize that there are many [on the right] claiming to be so principled, so conservative, so correct in their thinking...that they WANT the GOP to lose this election.
Now that, my friend, is what a traitor is, that is what weakness is, that is what the weak link in this Big Tent GOP chain is...a person so weak they have confused their own romanticized expectations with what THEY call facts...and so selfish they cannot or without see beyond their won needs/beliefs.
