Well, at some point in time you have to cultivate enough blocs, agendas and resultant votes to win an election.
You don't get that done with an "I'm right, you're a RINO" approach.
You have to build a coalition of varying interests, agendas and priorities that are better satisfied by voting for the GOP candidate over the Democrat candidate.
Politics is real world stuff.

I agree but a certain element at FR can’t seem to grasp this. I go hole hog for the conservative in the primaries and then vote the lesser of two evils in the general. I do think it is counter productive to allow so called independents to vote in the Republican primaries.

Better idea: stick to our guns, convince people we're correct on the issues through articulation and persuasion. You know, what Reagan did.
Political reality changes daily. Our convictions should not.

(Ain't over yet, folks. Those 2004 Senate gains are up for grabs in 2 years.)
