It's not compromise if you don't have principle.

Generally, people have selfish desire as a principle, so it's still compromise at some level.

Got anyone *specific* in mind as a case example, or just venting in general?

Just an abstract thought. An attempt at some sort of aphorism, I guess. As roadriverrail pointed out, however, self-interest can be seen as a sort of principle, and in such a case, a lot of politicos then *are* compromising, even if they don't appear to be doing so.
