You are confusing "Compromise" with "Capitulation".

You see, in a "compromise" BOTH sides get something of near equal value.

What The Democratic Party Leadership has done since 2006 (Majorities in Congress) can more correctly be called "capitulation".

For Example:
In HCR, after a year of negotiation, The Party leadership traded away the Center Piece of the reform (Public Option), and in return received a few token crumbs, like permission for PECs to BUY Health Insurance from a For Profit Corporation without any Price Controls.
THAT is NOT a "compromise".

I could go on (and on, and on) with more examples, but I'm sure you get the point.
