You guys are fine, I suppose, so long as you agree to support moderate Republican candidates who spend compassionately, and so long as you stop whining like bitchy little Hobbits about debt ceiling increases and compromises on principle that move the country leftward by institutionalizing a Marxist class dynamic of punitive taxation.
Shed that puristy cloak of fail. Join team electability. Get on board for the big win!

Selfish bastards. Running out of money like that.
Trust me, JG, I know.
