Just wondering what "compromise" means to a mid-westerner.

Compromise can't really happen until we return to a time before political
correctness made it wrong to call someone "crippled" but made it okay to
vocally and publicly insult someone for what they believe.

Sadly, I don't think this is going to change soon, as the moral issues
dividing the two parties are so stark.

see that's your problem Jay you are naive. Neither party has any morals, and
they are so united in the one thing they have in common, getting into power.

The problem with two party politics is that its really a case of having a
pig in a poke. Its damnation whichever way you vote.

some political commentator commented that "every political career ends in
failure".

1) Getting INTO power.
2) Staying in power.

That's about it.
think about it.

Indeed, notice the hysterics/psychosis of those dumped from power (i.e.,
Democrats, Taliban, Iraq...)

I didn't say the "party's moral issues are stark" -- I said "the moral
issues dividing the two parties are so stark."

The parties have no morals. However, the moral issues (abortion; taxes;
marriage; stem cell research; etc.) that separate the parties are in areas
that don't lend themselves well to compromise, since there are usually only
two diametrically opposed choices for each issue.

But there are plenty of people in each party that disagree with the party
line on one or more of these issues. Cheney's stance on the marraige
amendment is a particularly interesting example. There are plenty of
Republicans who wish President Bush would leave his religion at church. I
know Rush Limbaugh fans who believe the second amendment is outdated. And
there are Democrats who are against abortion. And for school vouchers. (Put
me at the top of the school voucher list)

While the party lines are didactic and polarized, the populations within
them are much more diverse.
