3. Dems adopted principle-free pragmatism during Clinton's admin

I'm not saying Clinton did it, but it happened during his time in office.

If you go back and reread the papers, or if you go back and watch the videos of the talk shows you'll hear Newt and company talk about the Dems having no principles.

And it was true. Triangulation...which is merely moving toward your opponents position as in 'pre-emptive compromise'...was rampant. It was THE NEW GREAT SHINEY TOY OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS.

When a person is willing to compromise their positions, you don't compromise, you let them do it. You let them pay the costs for it. You get what you want by just doing nothing....

hmmm sounds like the post-Clinton impeachment years doesn't it?
