“But here at the FreeRepublic, that simply won’t be good enough.”
Isn’t that the truth! All these “purists” who would rather have no bread at all ( or worse) instead of half a loaf (or most likely a lot more). Unless you meet ALL OF THEIR PERSONAL CRITERIA, they stay home to SHOW US ALL HOW DISSATISFIED THEY ARE and we end up with a half-breed illegal alien Communist (twice). Seemingly, they would rather for us to continue with Obola lookalikes than give on ANY of their “PRINCIPLES.”
I read all sorts of complaints in our Wisconsin component of the site about Ron Johnson. He's just not conservative enough for people. Well, I can agree at some level, but for Pete's sake, we used to have Russ Feingold as our senator and that's who Johnson beat. Now it doesn't take much to figure out that the difference is a giant leap forward. But some here just don't care, they want the most uber conservative running for the office, or they aren't happy. I'm a Bill Buckley conservative...'vote for the most electable conservative.'
I'll wait for the purist flames to now lap at my feet.
Exactly!
