Yet here you are signed on to a conservative activist group. Did you think that conservative activists would not make an effort to decide which candidates make it through the primaries and represent conservatism?
I have been 'signed on' here for over a decade now and missed the bulletin that FR was an 'activist group'. I thought we were a on-line conservative discussion forum and my experience here is that there are a broad range of views expressed and supported here across the Conservative spectrum and we do not speak with one voice either for or against any candidate.
The Litmus Test people are those who will damn a candidate as a RINO based on even on 'failure' to agree with their own beliefs, and then challenge the conservatism of anyone else who dares to continue to support that candidate. While there are certainly some real RINOs in the Republican party, the Litmus Test people can find the RINO lurking in every candidate and under every bed. They demand ideological purity and that will never happen.
