11. And the Obama DOJ has done NOTHING about the attacks on abortion in the states.
Sure it is still "legal"...but if barriers are allowed to be put up that make it IMPOSSIBLE for a woman to obtain one...isn't being "legal"...just a technicality for the forces that are moving heaven and earth to prevent them? Because from where I am sitting....it may be legal but it is getting unobtainable.

2. Sure:

Their family values on too many occasions to recount here.
Their moral and ethical values as self described christians. Otherwise helping the poor would be policy, not something to piss on.
Their political ethics, taking orders from assholes like Koch.

In other words, they have compromised a lot.

3. They've compromised education with their attacks on and de-funding of public education.
They've compromised public safety but cutting funds for infrastructure repair.
they've compromised our political system through policies to limit the ability for the poor and minorities to vote.

I could go on.

8. Compromised on the speed
of the destruction. Wisconsin shows what a real GOP agenda is like. Faster. Impatience and doubt makes the GOP afraid and
angry. They are afraid that the insanity and mass murder might not work under the non-traditional method of multi-layered fake democracy without the FULL repression of secret police, private guards, thug army, complete and singular propaganda control and a full fledged dictator. Even a Democratic President(my fingers itched for asterisks or even the "DLC DINO" keys) moving swiftly and inexorably their way is only a maddening aggravation. Truth being what it is- immutable- they are afraid the captivation by illusion necessary for plutocracy madness could be rolled up, burned down or hoisted before real Law Courts with enough clout on paper that someone might actually be tempted to use it.

The disagreement is on speed and the fear comes from having to humor the separate madness that has rotted the brains of DLC Third Way loons into thinking something else is going on that may redound to their own power and moderate grinding down of the masses for "sustainability".

"Sustainability"? You have to admire the disciplined purity of the overlords. Let the masses sustain themselves so long as the world is ordered properly for the top of the pyramid. The base has no choice but to save itself only in such a way as to save the top the effort. The true Atlas dilemma. The leading Dems believe too much in the pyramid and are too dedicated to the activities of the masses fighting and lifting to ever get up to the top. They think they are too useful to everyone. They think to be rewarded by all. It is in the true nature of all the occupants of the top or base to only despise them.

9. They wanted to eliminate all taxes, but agreed to just eliminate
those on corporations and the rich. The wanted to ban minorities from voting but settled for a variety of voter suppression schemes.
