OK, fine, now how are you going to make sure everyone is 100% pure and how are you ever going to win an election?

I don't subscribe to the idea that candidates have to be pure, just on the same page. For instance, I think right now there are two very distinct pages to our current book. A liberal page and a conservative page, with a few kooks who are a bookmark between the two. Our problem this election is that the GOP-e is trying to pick the candidate that lives on the liberal page, but has recently gone on a camping trip to the conservative page. In that sense, Romney is an illegal immigrant.

We only vote for candidates which are not career politicians, and have proven they are interested in upholding the constitution, enacting term limits, and preventing the destruction of our country, our economy, and our society. Candidates that are interested in reforming entitlements and the tax system. They could be from any political party. I am really beginning to think that the party designation has come to be destructive, if anything today. See Romney.
If Romney is considered a republican, then the term truly has no meaning anymore.

And if those candidates can't win elections, due to the ignorance and indifference of the American electorate, then we simply are waiting to hit bottom, and I don't think it's far off.

Then perhaps things will change, but I'm as optimistic about that, as I am that Romney can beat Obama. Romney could probably beat Obama, but only if he challenged him as a fellow democrat.

How is the GOP trying to pick our candidate? Can't you vote for whomever you want? I did. I voted for Perry. No one is going to tell me how I have to vote.

And this website is supporting Newt? Isn't Newt more of a career politician than Romney?

There are actually four pages in your book.

There are the right and the left, as you say... but also the statist and the individualist.

A leftist that thinks everything is best left up to the individual instead of a massive, powerful central government is much easier to tolerate. And for the left, the same goes for a conservative that believes the same.

It’s when politicians expand the size, scope, power, and authority of the central government... that politics gets vicious. As then, you can’t afford to lose - for if you do, you will then be forced to obey the whims of your political enemy.
