Under your reasoning, if I live in State A and vote for a moderate R for senate, I'm nevertheless racist because other R senate candidates from other states are racist. Your reasoning approaches the Scottish rules on scotch: Even a drop of another malt into a bottle of single malt renders the entire bottle an adulterated blend.
Your reasoning would also hold that one may never vote R under any circumstance until the R party removes all racists from its ranks. By extension, as many Southern Ds support racist policies, one cannot vote D either, as he'd be supporting a party infected by racists.
This purity contest becomes theater of the absurd pretty quickly.

We're not talking about a handful of racists in the Republican party. We're talking about the Republican leadership in Congress whom your "moderates" (really? where?) would be voting for being openly racist, about their bill, their platform, the head of their party....
You're at the point of trying to argue that one shouldn't be considered a Catholic just because they're a member of the Roman Curia.
Are there times one might vote R? Sure, I can think of the Weld-Silber race in Massachusetts, where Silber was a racist ass and Weld was just an elitist ass, as being one. But it's been quite a while since we saw any of those races. You have to be pretty old to remember that Republican party.
Come on, dude. Get real. The Pope is Catholic, and Republicans are Racists. If you have any doubt, just go recite their respective catechisms.
