No. I have never preferred that, JL. I believe that policy should be developed to consider the needs of all stakeholders, not just one or the other. Often there are no clearly defined policy options.
However, since the rise of the Tea Party, the "conservatives" have worked to create a country made up of only their policies, and have been unwilling to consider any other options or even engage in honest debate. Perhaps that's why Congress has gotten so much done in recent years.
BTW -- when did compartmentalizing policies into "either one or the other" ever produce any honest discourse in this country, or in this forum for that matter?
Maybe you "Americans" ought to open your minds a tad.

The problem with your seemingly reasonable post asking for compromise it that giving in has led us down the path from a great country in the 1950's to this mess we have now. Hardworking, taxpaying people get a raw deal relative to those living off the dole.
While many of the pro-corporation policies of the Republican party benefit the rich at the expense of the poor, and I wish we could change that, the Republicans and conservatives get slammed for being uncaring and hateful when they try to pass rational policies to incentivize work and penalize bad behavior.
When we try to stop the anti-white policies of the government, we get accused of backwardness and hatefulness and racism. At some point, you have to say "fuck it" we're going down the drain, let's make a last stand for what we want, or die trying. Even if we fail, at least we will cause some pain to those that hate us, and want to destroy everything we loved about this once great country.
