Interesting you mention pro-abortion, because those senators in particular gave us the judges that appear to be turning the tide. As far as I know, they all voted for a vote on Owens, Brown, et. al., and most voted for Alito and Roberts. They ALL voted for the WoT. Most voted for ANWAR.

So it is you who are peddling the "purity" notion, and perfection is the enemy of the good. I won't hesitate, when strategically feasible to vote against a RINO, and I don't plan to vote for DeWine in the fall. But that could change if the Senate is in jeopardy.

We should all live by the dean of conservatism's advice (that would be William F. Buckley, Jr.): "I plan to vote for the most conservative candididate who is electable."

Interesting you mention pro-abortion .. (I am referring to the larger picture and not just thiose who pass the "test").

imo, The GOP is moving in 2 directions or has 2 warring factions if you will...and can easily be swung around to go the opposite direction at the state level which we do see happening here in california , a prime example.

The gOP is not even effectively fielding a candidate against DiChiFi.

What is so evil about purity, btw?

Your comment about DeWine is a bit of a stretch using your same logic, imo. so you won't vote for him in any case, is that my read? That seems to contradict what you say within the bulk of your reply.

Sometimes there is little conservative in any of the candidates, what then? It hasn;t done much for us here in the Gol-darn state.
