Gallup-Very Conservative say don't compromise beliefs
PRINCETON, NJ -- A majority of very conservative Americans believe political leaders in Washington should stick to their beliefs even if little is accomplished, while all other groups, particularly moderates and liberals, are more amenable to compromise for the sake of getting things done



Not exaclty earth shattering news

1. Not very surprising
Conservatives' first (and only) response to losing elections (or hell, even winning them) is to "double-down" on teh crazy! :crazy:

3. Nice little math problem there.
If 36% of conservatives will not compromise, and 37% of liberals will compromise, then where does that leave us?

Short answer : with mostly conservative policies.
