Hey guys, as we know we continue to hear from the Legacy Media about the continuing split in the GOP and how that is going to be the end of the Party. The "far right" is looking to purge the "moderate" element from the Party and create some "right-wing" monstrosity that will leave the Republicans in the majority forever. The only way to avoid this, of course, is to take on positions that are the spitting image of the Democrats...only less so...and "move to the middle". With that in mind, I want to give you two quotes and I want to get your answers on who you think said them, when they were said, and in a few days I am going to post a piece with the correct answers and an essay about the impending doom predicted for the "leaderless" GOP.
"I have been taught since I have been in public life to consider it a matter of proper statesmanship, when we aim at an object which we think is desirable and important, if that object...is unattainable, to get as much of it and come as near it as we may be able to do."
- Thomas Jefferson
- William Fessenden
- John McCain
- Olympia Snowe
"Ample experience shows that [compromise]...is the least practical mode of settling questions involving...principles. A...principle cannot be compromised."
- Ronald Reagan
- James Madison
- Lindsey Graham
- Charles Sumner
Have a go at it and all will be revealed by week's end!
