I am well aware of the nature of this site. It is why I am here.

Unlike you, I am a practical conservative as opposed to an extremist conservative. You seek to drive away all those who are not 100% ideologically pure. I want to seek common ground with those whom I disagree with on some issues in order to further our cause by strengthening the GOP.

Any proof of your claim regarding the AIP's numbers?

We have 377,000 registered AIP voters in CA. That's all it takes to be the third-largest party in America based on voter registrations.

You're not practical. You're simply short-sighted.

In the short run, compromise with evil seems pragmatic. Over time, it never is.

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are a gift of God? I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever." - Thomas Jefferson

What do you want common ground on? War and supply side economics? Both are extremely unpopular election losers.
