I hate the Ideological Purists just as much as I hate the DLC corporate whores. I've HAD IT with the lynching of canidates that don't pass a 1000-page-long litmus test, I just about snapped when Obama started getting bashed because he talked to some evangelicals.

US politics is dominated by 2 parties, but American politics can be divided into 4 quadrants (socially conservative left-wingers, liberals, libertarians, and conservatives), we have to get voters from 2 quadrants to win. The purists stupidly think we can win with just the liberal quadrant without getting voters from the socially conservative left-winger and libertarian quadrants , which is pathetically moronic beyond belief.
