I wouldnt actually consider myself a purist. Just both Obama and Romney, were in fact just that BAD. I could support a Reagan, or a Bill Clinton (never Hillary, she is not Bill and woes is us if she convinces people she is), or an Eisenhower. None of which I would consider ideologically pure.

Calling someone a purist for snubbing the likes of Obama and Romney is like calling someone a food snob for declining to partake of either the roast cow shit, or the grilled pig shit.

What? Isnt the food good enough for you? Damn foodie.
