I for one don’t believe that compromise is always bad all the time. The Declaration of Independence would never have been signed without it. The Constitution would never have been ratified. And “Pawn Stars” co-owner Rick Harrison would never make a sale.
Compromise is not always bad, in fact it is the essence of politics.
However.
Compromise, in the definition used by liberals and the news media (I know, a distinction without a difference) is as follows:
Liberals want to increase size and power of government at a rapid pace. Conservatives don’t want to increase size and power of government. The compromise is for size and power of government to increase at a somewhat slower pace than liberals would prefer.
May I suggest that conservatives should counter by laying out plans to drastically decrease size and power of government. The split-it-down-the-middle compromise would then be to keep government size and power roughly where it is now.
