Compromise and pragmatism aren’t the same thing.
Compromise means giving up most of your standards to where nobody is happy. See Giuliani, Rudy.
Pragmatism is realizing that someone is 90% correct and will do much more good than simply throwing in the towel. See Thompson, Fred.
Should Dobson compromise? No. Does he need a dose of pragmatism? Yes.
We need to take a hard turn to the right....!!
We've ceded too much ground....don't know if it can be recovered.
The hard right folk...(include me) want a candidate with deep, real convictions and moral clarity.
I know MSM & the 'powers that be' have written off Duncan Hunter...
..but he has the 'right stuff' !!
Only God's intervention can bring Hunter to the top of the tier...
..and I'm not factoring out God!
excellent summation.
