It's become a clearinghouse for orthodox “conservatives” to demand 100% purity from politicians, yet none of them are willing to run for the office themselves. They always think it's someone else’s “duty” to lead the conservative charge as long as they get to call all the shots.

And just what office have you run for? I am a Precinct Committeeman, an office I was elected to hold. My "duty" is to my state and country, NOT to follow the lead of Karl Rove.

You are perfectly welcome to follow YOUR duty whatever the hell it is.

I don’t expect you to see it like I do. What kind of conservative would want to run for office when they will be in the crosshairs of the media, the political opposition, AND their political allies? Only the kind who will tolerate the pressure as long as they can exercise control over others. This is the environment we have so these are the candidates we will get. That is until one of us decides to make such a sacrifice to advance freedom. I certainly don’t want to run for president and put my family through that kind of hell so I’m in no position to tell others they should. Since I didn’t apply for the head chef job, I will order from the menu.
