In all my years on Free Republic, I have never seen a purist. Not once.
On the other hand, I have seen many who accuse others of being purists for declining to vote for more statism.
The GOP didn't ask me to compromise my principles when it asked me to vote for Romney. It asked me to abandon them.
Poor ol' flaglady is totally in the dark.
“On the other hand, I have seen many who accuse others of being purists for declining to vote for more statism.”
What a joke. In your misguided effort to avoid alleged “statism” by a Romney Admin, you allowed a tenfold increase in statism under Obama. Real smart there.
