Everybody's Right and Nobody's Right

One of the better aspects of American politics is the shifting back and forth between political parties. I believe that neither party is perfect and it is necessary to shift the balance of power back and forth.

I also believe that this country works best when there is a divergent collection of opinions, but that the best is collected from the different components and a well rounded compromise is created.

Unfortunately, there has been a shift of lately that translates compromiser = loser. I think the win at all costs mentality is quite unhealthy for our society and our democracy.
