Absolutely Sig, but we also have to adhere to core values and principles. And then we have to bend like to willow at times or we will continue to lose battle after battle.
It is not that Conservatives are all that crazy guy on the corner - yes we have them just like everyone else; the communications issue is breaking through all of the noise, distortions, and historical lies to reach the so-called "low-information voters".
