That’s because too many conservatives are either purists, or combative, chest puffing, dick measuring blowhards who want to leverage their candidate to grab party control and satisfy their delusions of grandeur, instead of just getting a decent conservative candidate elected by siding with the best one.

Anyone who takes marching orders from the Chamber of Amnesty is not a “decent conservative”. “Decent conservative” corportist GOPe are the ones standing by while we are assaulted by the IRS, assaulted by obamacare and economically assaulted by illegal immigration.

FRiend, if you going to advocate for GOPe statists then you need to own their agenda. All of it. Amnesty, obamacare exemptions, gay marriage, etc.

"Purists"

Your exactly right. You can also use other names like ideologist.

Do you go with the ideologist(Miller), or the man that can do the most for the state(Sullivan).

No different from MS or Kansas. Or Virginia, except in VA the ideologist defeated the man that could do the most for the state.

Thank you for saying what I’ve though for many years There is a fine line between getting good candidates while still being able to be pragmatic. Sometimes, half a loaf is better than no bread at all, but the types you describe don’t begin to see it that way.
I didn’t like Romney, he was last on my list, but at the end of the day I did vote for him. And still today, there are those here who think that withholding their vote was the “right” decision. I just want to know how that has helped our country. It escapes me how letting Obama continue his terrorist ways was somehow better than Mitt. Let the flames begin.

B$ you have fake libertarians enter to split the vote. 60% of the vote was not cast for the winner.
