Tea Partier who refrains from voting for a Republican candidate who shares few if any of his beliefs can no more be accused of holding out for an ideal candidate than can someone who refuses to marry a person with whom he has little to anything in common be accused of holding out for an ideal spouse.

The problem with this analogy is that not marrying either of the options isn't a choice. Someone IS going to be elected president, and either you choose to participate in that decision or you don't. Either way, you're gonna be married.

What will it take to make the Republican Party understand we don't want any more RINOs, short of losing an election? We seem to have tried everything else and it doesn't seem to be working.

As long as we'll keep holding our noses and voting for whoever they give us, they don't have any incentive to change. As long as it keeps working, they're going to keep doing it.
