I am amazed that so many on this board seem willing to throw anyone and everyone overboard for any or no reason at all. We have gone a long way (and the wrong way) if the search for “conservative values” in a candidate has morphed into a requirements for absolute ideological purity in one’s associations - despite having personal ties to the individual.
I have been accused of being a “purist” or “hundred percenter” for stating that there is a minimum level of conservatism for a candidate to garner my support. It appears that my seventy percent requirement is at least twenty-five percent lower than many people on this forum.

Great observation, MM.
I’m amazed at how many FReepers consider Scott Brown to be the second coming of Jesus Christ, while Sarah Palin is now the devil incarnate.
Take a look at their past performance, not what you think they’ll do tomorrow.
