But if one doesn't call it a "purity" test nor claim it's a "purge," then who'd pay attention to a story whining about these mainly uncontroversial and unobjectionable position points? “Whether this is a good idea or not is debatable, but please stop calling it a ‘purity’ test.”

You're given the chance to bail out on any two of your choice, according to the standard the Reagan himself set.

I would love to have it explained to me why we have such big defecits. You would think that it was because of massive spending by Obama to read this. The big issues are the recession (not Obama's fault), TARP ( when was that passed........hmmm, I seem to remember a VP Cheney pushing it), and the continuation of the wars. A small percentage is due to Obama policies. He gets partial credit for TARP defecits an for continuation of Bush policies. Healthcare. Weren't we told back in the 90's that the market would take care of this? Well, newsflash, it hasn't. I don't know the answer but i know private insurance isn't it. Cap and Trade. Don't know the answer here but we are polluting the enviroment and I think the likelihoo is that there is global warming. Very probable and very probable that a portion is man made. Pretend that this is a hoax (kind of like tobacco and cancer IMO), still isn't it smart to quit spening 2 billion/day on oil imports? Then how many 10's of billions of our national defense is to protect our oil? This party is toast. You cannot have Rush, Sarah, and Glen Beck as the faces of a serious party. I am a Chuck Hagel Republican but of course, Chuck isn't welcome in this party anymore. I used to think that my Rep. party was the smart party but it really is a gathering of know nothings. I am with Bartlett, anti Republican. I hate the Dems but I really, really, really hate the Reps. Sarah Palin, Death Panels, Birthers, tea party...all bullshit.

I don't think I've ever seen the hatred as I've found in the the fringe of the GOP. Well good luck with that, I don't want any part of the GOP any more. My hope is in blue dog Democrats. I'm done with the NewBusters, Brent Bozell type hate welling in the GOP. I'm done with the Dixiecrats posing as conservatives. Purity tests.
