This is exemplary of the GOPe attitude: Victory is measured by election results not by policies enacted.

cart. horse. . . you do realize that it's necessary to get elected before you are able to enact any policies, correct? and do you further realize that republicans only hold one house of congress, and that the one undeniable accomplishment of the purist sect of the conservative movement has been to make it increasingly difficult to capture the second one?

So, expecting republicans to represent the republican party platform, as opposed to continually caving to the dems in the hopes that the media will show them some love, is now considered as "purist"?

The more the republicans are rewarded, by you and your ilk, for being squishy, the squishier they will get.

I won't be a fellow enabler.
