By the way, "purists" is perhaps the wrong word. I prefer the "unrealistic wing of the Republican Party" or the "Titanic wing".

I prefer the "unrealistic wing of the Republican Party" or the "Titanic wing".

That would be RINOs. They kowtow to Democrats and the media, aping their beliefs instead of standing strong for conservative REPUBLICAN beliefs, forever sure that someday, someday, they'll get the love and respect they need and deserve from the enemies of the republic. And they are always wrong.

I prefer the old FR term UNAPPEASEABLES, myself, but I like your terms a lot.
