It’s an “either, or” proposition. We need, and will have a relatively pure majority over the next couple of election cycles. The nation IS conservative, despite the bleatings of the left-wing media to the contrary. People, by and large, do NOT trust the government because of its liberalism and statism.
We are at war with the liberals, but not just the liberals with a “D” next to their name. When idiots caucus with the left on major issues, they need to be purged from the party. When idiots try to sell their own brand of Obamacare, they need to be purged from the party. When idiots jump in bed with junk scientists whose only goal is to destroy the US, they need to be purged from the party. When idiots try to circumvent the text and meaning of the second amendment, they need to be purged from the party. Ditto the first amendment, or any amendment.
I don’t expect 100% perfect conservatism from every republican - that wouldn’t be possible. But I do expect 60-75% at least. And siding with the enemy is counterprodutive to that goal. There are plenty republicans that achieve that level of conservatism, but there are a number that do not. Get rid of the ones that do not.
As for Alvin Greene, 350,000 people have shown that they are stupid and need to be educated. Assuming that all 350,000 votes represent actual people.
Correction - it's NOT an "either, or" proposition.
