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.

That’s because I have never advocated “purging the party of social conservatives.” Why should I explain it when I’ve never said it?

I do think the party needs to eliminate the social conservative agenda from its platform — or at least tone it down to a very large extent. Unfortunately, the kind of people who want to meddle in other people’s lives and teach everyone’s children creationism are not going to be happy about a reduced role, are they? The whole point for them is to have dominion over others. And there we have the GOP’s big problem.
