unappeasable Purists

This is reminiscent of 2006. Anyone who had principles and did not support the RINOs were called names. Such mature behavior!

And I expect the end result will be similar. The loss of seats in 2006 was nothing compared to this coming November. No matter who wins, McCain or Obama, with an overwhelming Democrat majority in Congress - lots and lot sof liberal legislation will be passed. McAmnesty will be more than happy to sign it and in many cases, even promote it, just as he'd done in the past. Enjoy your loss of freedoms and higher taxes and tens of millions of new uneducated, entitlement-grabbing citizens. This is what you are advocating when you think you are being in the 'cool group' with your little highschool insults.

The Purists are the masters of name calling. They spend most of their time calling people names and in your post you called those who disagree with the "Purists" RINOs. It was not the insignificant "Purists" not voting that led to democrat control of Congress it was that more independents voted for democrats than Republicans in 2006. The independents that you "Purists" call middle of the road mushy people, but since you "Purists" do not know how to count these "Independents" are the largest voting block and they constitute almost 40% of the total vote.

The independents cannot stand the "Purists" whether they are on the right or on the left
