I will bet that most of the 3 million people would take an "impure" republican over a liberal like Romney any day.
The real purists are the liberals in the republican party who abandoned candidates like Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia.
In all my years on Free Republic, I have never seen a purist. Not once.
On the other hand, I have seen many who accuse others of being purists for declining to vote for more statism.
The GOP didn't ask me to compromise my principles when it asked me to vote for Romney. It asked me to abandon them.
Poor ol' flaglady is totally in the dark.
“I will bet that most of the 3 million people would take an “impure” republican over a liberal like Romney any day.”
Those 3 million people didn’t choose an “impure” republican or a liberal like Romney, they, by not voting, chose a very impure democrat, Barak Hussein Obama. There’s no impure Republican in office, there’s no “liberal” Romney in office, there is a dictator named Obama in office, and 3 million whiteys have no one to blame but themselves. You were probably one of them.
