I think conservatives can hold themselves excused from that conjoinder now, especially in primary season, especially given the RiNO harpoon jobs people like Ed Rollins, Karl Rove, and Brooksie and Will have rained down on Tea Party people like Angle, O'Donnell, Bachmann, Palin, and Rubio. The RiNOrati's betrayals and backstabbing go back to the Goldwater campaign, and they've always been predictable, reliable, base, and destructively self-serving.

We should hold ourselves to no higher standard than the Muffies and Buffies and Puffies hold themselves when contemplating conservative, Main-Street candidates.

We seem to have that down to an art here on FR.
