No, it’s the greater evil that got us into this mess, not the lesser evil. And it’s the hard slog against the greater evil that gets us out of it, not petulant protest votes.

RINOs are just one symptom of the left having spent the last century marching through our institutions. Undoing this will take a lot more than passive acts of political sabotage. It will require us to do work and build something. It will take mountains of positive effort.

The right way to get rid of a McConnel is to beat him in the primary with a conservative. The wrong way is to enable a pro-abort liberal Democrat after failing to do it the right way.

But again, doing it the right way takes work. You don’t get the luxury of ideologically pure political representation until you’ve moved mountains. That’s how the left did it and that’s how we’ll have to do it. This world rewards work, not complaining.

It's not a matter of purity. It's a matter of liberal republicans that don't even match the party platform... I won't support those. I will work to defeat them.

The days of voting for the 'lesser evil' are over.

Conservatives won't vote for liberal republican candidates, even in the general election.

The GOP must run conservatives that at least match the party platform, or they will be destroyed.

And personally, I don't care if they are destroyed.

I'm a conservative, not a republican.
