Just in general: purists know they have to support tea party conservatives, but if one isn’t in the race, they feel that a Statist or egotistical Repub is the same as a dem and won’t vote.
As if that would make a tea party candidate grow on the spot for that race. It usually doesn’t. What usually happens then is that the Dem wins.
There is no way romney would have been as bad as Obama’s second term. And there are two years left of it.
Purists are not following the Hippocratic oath of First, Do No Harm.

Must be an interesting fellow. Can you name one? Not in general. Because being one of the top ‘purists’ (so I have been repeatedly accused) I never met the dude.
So I call BS. Name them. Because we all vote. Just not for liberals.
RE: Romney...
Thats just like, your opinion man! Because it isn’t based on anything but fond wishes. It’s speculation.
Romney isn’t on the ticket. Romney isn’t running this time. Romney didn’t ask democrats to vote for him in the primary. Romney didn’t brag about how he was going to crush the tea party.
The issue isn’t 100% purity, nor is it sitting at home and doing nothing. The issue is that there are a few RINOs who crossed the line, and the GOP failed to make a case that they can accomplish anything with a senate victory this election.
Next presidential election, If Cruz doesn’t get the nomination, then I may find myself on your side of the 2016 debate claiming that we cannot afford another round of communist supreme court justices.
This election however, the GOP forgot to run ON something.
