As we grow nearer and nearer to the midterms (which honestly can’t happen soon enough), we are hearing more and more from a certain faction of disenchanted Republicans that the only way to save the party is to vote for Democrats.
Don’t make that face, we not insane enough to believe that, but they are saying it.
You know, those ex-Republican types who ditched the party, turned around and called everyone bigots and racists, and now can’t figure out why everyone is pissed at them. *cough Max Boot cough*
We found quite possibly the best thread ever on this topic, one that puts the self-important, smug, snide ‘ex-GOPers’ in their place:
My principles are lower taxes, less government, and not killing babies in the womb. Find me Democrats who think that and I'll consider it.

Fat chance of finding a Democrat who supports any of that.
There aren't any, because Obama ran them all out of office over Obamacare.

See?
Federalism, empowering the states. School choice. Respect for and promotion of the Second Amendment. Democrats have painted themselves into extreme opposition of these ideals in order to placate one or more radical fringe groups that make up the Democrat Party coalition.

He’s right you know.
Voting for Democrats in order to "purify conservatism" is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.

Preach! Amen! Eleventy!
Same here, and we regularly read Alyssa Milano’s timeline.
Do you think the Democrats will endure such a purification? You think they'll suddenly revert to political moderation if handed political power? If you do, I have a crumbling bridge somewhere to sell you.

That. ^
Political power lies not within the individual member in the House of Representatives, it lies within who controls the committees. A vote for Democrats to "purify conservatism" is a vote to put radical leftists as committee chairs.

Cripes, that IS terrifying.
Well our tax rate's at 66%, Obamacare premiums are $1500 per month, unemployment is back up and GDP is crashing and there's nothing we can do about it, but look how pure our party is!

Yeah, no thanks. We’ll stay impure if that means we can keep our tax cuts and more Americans are in the workforce. *shrug*
