Then there are political positions that just cannot be compromised without betraying ones beliefs. For example a pro-life person can only compromise their position by allowing some fetus' to be murdered instead of all. That's not compromise, that's hypocrisy just as it would be for a pro-choice person to compromise into allowing some abortions to be denied.
