I abhor the purist 2%ers here as much as the GOPe, each of those extremes are total losers in my book. Pissant was as much a fool as McConnel. Ron Paul is as bizarre as Boehner, and the forum is filled with lots of these different kinds of 2%ers, so many with such ridiculous differences that are hard to count.
That's who I called the "purists". If you're part of them now, so be it. For you to claim to side with pissant and his ilk is disturbing at best.
Best of luck to you with your new crowd.
Lake, none of us posts in a vacuum here. You’re squarely on record condemning those who refused to vote for Romney in the last election as. Those are the people you’re actually referring to as the “purist 2%ers” - not the true 2% fringe on the right.
While I’m at it, let me point out that your term, “purist 2%ers”, is an oxymoron. The actual 2% fringe doesn’t believe in Reagan conservatism and isn’t ‘purist’ in any way. For the most part, they’re liberaltarians who could reasonably be mistaken for Democrats.
‘Purists’, on the other hand, are precisely those who stand firmly on their core conservative principles - not just on message boards - but in real life, and at the voting booth.
The ‘purists’ and the 2% couldn’t be further apart.
Although you just insulted me by implying that I stand with the liberaltarian 2%, I won’t demean you with the same. I will gladly accept the title, ‘purist’, though.
