Why do Republicans, like the Bushes, feel it necessary to bash the right as much if not worse than the left? We conservatives are constantly accused of being purists. Why in the world is it considered “purist” to expect the so-called small government party, aka Republicans, to actually produce smaller government?

People who agree with us 80% of the time are supposed to be our friends, right? Well, you’d never know it. BTW, I very rarely ever read about Nancy Pelosi or other Democrats attacking their left. It appears they reserve all their ire for the right. Even if the moderate Republicans disagree with the right 20% of the time (it actually seems more like 80%), wouldn’t it make political sense to mend broken fences and make peace with your 80% friends, like the Democrats do with their voters?

I have often written against third parties, but I can’t vote for people, like Jeb Bush or Romney, who apparently oppose me on so many key issues.
