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.
My reference to the 2%ers includes them, yes. And all of them on this board who claim to be proud to have left this destructive totalitarian regime in office can stick it where the sun don't shine. And all of them claim "purity" too, just like the Paulists, and the pissants, and the Rabadash circle jerkers. All of them.
Cruz, Palin, JR and every other sane conservative knew the difference, as Reagan would have. They (2%ers), unfortunately are too stupid to have a clue.
Like I said...IF.....you want to throw your lot in with them, go ahead.
