Their disgusting hatred is so despicable, it's personal... Really personal.
Many of the same people that line up to hammer Mitt's policies and flip-flopping chugged McCain's kool-aid on amnesty, campaign finance, and now “getting along” with the president elect. You can make a similar list of flip-flops with every candidate.
There are no PURE candidates on the conservative side. Reagan wasn't pure as governor of California. If we want to win we have got to stop ripping our own people apart if they don't agree with us on every single issue. A long bloody primary doesn't help anybody but the Dems.
The true RINOS are the people who want to “work together” with the other side. If the voters you Republicans represent wanted you to get along with the other party they would have just elected another Democrat. These are the people we need to jettison.
I would much rather have someone I disagree with on one issue who won't compromise with the Dems than someone who is with me on all issues but wants to run the “compassionate conservative” route.
