re: #920 The Dude

There’s plenty of criticizing of those who want to purge the party of RINOs, but no explanation of how purging the party of social conservatives would help win elections. […] It seems to me that we need to focus on commonalities of the various branches of conservatives rather than on what divides us.

Either purge would condemn the party to perpetual minority status. I would say fiscal conservatism and strong defense and law & order policies are things every Republican should be able to agree upon: some of that is probably already too much for some of the “Country Club Republicans”, but the libertarian and so-con wings should be able to agree on them, and agree to disagree on other matters.
