This is a great day for America..the conservatives are about to become an eternal fringe party!
recent concession by moderate Republicans got the far-right wing of the Party up in arms.....now that they have no power they go back to their 'conservative roots' or else!
Blogs NY TimesRepublican leaders are circulating a resolution listing 10 positions Republican candidates should support to demonstrate that they “espouse conservative principles and public policies” that are in opposition to “Obama’s socialist agenda.” According to the resolution, any Republican candidate who broke with the party on three or more of these issues– in votes cast, public statements made or answering a questionnaire – would be penalized by being denied party funds or the party endorsement.
The proposed resolution was signed by 10 Republican national committee members and was distributed on Monday morning. They are asking for the resolution to be debated when Republicans gather for their winter meeting.
The resolution invokes Ronald Reagan, and noted that Mr. Reagan had said the Republican Party should be devoted to conservative principles but also be open to diverse views. President Reagan believed, the resolution notes, “that someone who agreed with him 8 out of 10 times was his friend, not his opponent.”
Hence the provision calling for cutting off Republicans who agree with the party on seven of 10 items. The resolution demands that Republicans support “smaller government, smaller national deficits and lower taxes,” denial of government funding for abortion, and “victory in Iraq and Afghanistan.” It calls on candidates to oppose amnesty for illegal immigrants and repealing of the Defense of Marriage Act.
This'll be interesting if a few GOPers don't sign, are the wing-nuts gonna run candidates against moderate Republicans?

It doesn't really matter. The country will get so ed there will be
A) no other options but to be fiscally responsible
B) Raise taxes, cut spending, people will really feel the pain, and they will vote in the other party (repubs) even if Palin is pres
Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd, Waters, Boxer, Jackson, etc....and you don't think the people will jump ship when the pain becomes too much? lolololol It's pretty much re v. re with 100mil re votes up for grabs.
That's an inane question. Of course they will. They were doing it before this 7 point litmus test. You think they wouldn't do it to anyone who didn't pass?
"A) no other options but to be fiscally responsible
B) Raise taxes, cut spending, people will really feel the pain"
These were always hidden objectives in the Repugs starting and not finishing two bull wars AND in not raising taxes to pay for their wars.
"Shrink govt so it can be drowned in a bathtub" ring a bell?
