compromise is a dirty word, and every negotiation implies compromise. It's supposedly the very foundation of politics. Not anymore, not since the republicans were infiltrated by the religious extremists of this country. You don't negotiate with God... and they believe they are representing and speaking for God. Democrats are just heathen pagans and negotiating with them would mean negotiating with the Devil; they ain't gonna do that no way, no how.
