Stop Drawing Lines in the Sand

Partisans talk about drawing lines in the sand on certain issues as if it's a good thing. But it rarely is. Conservative groups have so narrowed the range of acceptable options for Social Security reform that they may well bear responsibility if Congress does not pass a Social Security bill this year (see article). One frustrated (Republican) Senate aide recently opined: "We should have no conditions before we start talking", and "If you start narrowing the ideas, there's nothing left to negotiate." Representative Clay Shaw (R-Fla.), is blunt in his criticism of hard-line ideologues: "They don't understand that politics is the art of compromise".

Politics is also about governing, not maintaining ideological purity.
