Should the Democrats Compromise Their Positions?
The other day I wrote this:
Matthews admitted that the Democrats don't have a majority of the country behind them. But then he posed the question--would we compromise our positions to get to 51%? So why should we expect the Democrats to do so?
My answer is no, they should not compromise their positions. But,
as I wrote a few days ago, they should start being
honest about them.
The Democrats are caught in a trap. They can't be honest about their true positions on certain social issues (abortion, gay marriage, gun control) without losing votes. So they try being dishonest (or disingenuous) about those positions, but the voters are smart enough to see through the fog.
