What is wrong with being a purist and expecting our politicians to adhere to the Conservative principles they promote that is be purists too? Compromise has moved the GOP to the left yet its the purists who are criticized?!

There is a time and a place for everything -- even Ecclesiastes says so. The coming two elections are not the time for purism. They are a time for hanging on to the shred of a republic we have left by the skin of our teeth so we can hope to even begin turning this huge ship around.

Voting for people who have not one iota of interest in preserving this republic is supposed to do that??

The country is on the edge of disaster now is not the time to vote for compromisers.

Your point may be justifiable in the 80s.

Every election was and is this critical, whether we thought so at the time or not.

But when is the time for "purism"?
