The Republic National Committee is going to vote on their proposal for a “purity” test for their candidates. Basically, if you don’t agree, and vote in accordance, with 8 of the 10 Party’s positions, you get no funds or backing from the Republican National Committee. Didn’t Hitler have a similar “test”?

I’ve read the proposal, and honestly, there are items I agree with. Having said that, forcing someone upfront to vote and agree with the positions you want passed, is undermining what this country is suppose to be about. We are so quick to want to fix other governments, and promote equality, yet we can have mob-like proposals on the books affecting a candidates ability to even reach The People.

The mere existence of such a proposal makes the party look completely prejudicial and out-dated – as if their old ass candidates didn’t already make them look antiquated enough. I understand some of the party thinks their attempts to be moderate have failed, and they have to go hard-core conservative. But, really, your attempts to be moderate failed because the voters thought you were full of shit. It’s that simple.

Some members are opposed, including Chairman Michael S. Steele. He recognizes how ashamed those fools should be to even suggest such a test, and how dangerous it is to the Party as a whole. They are about to isolate a lot more of their supporters than what was probably imagined.

Picture This: you are a Republican, supporting a Republican candidate, who only agreed on 7 positions in the party. That candidate, who you rallied and voted for, no longer has the funds or support to continue to work for you. You’re a Republican, but you must just not be a good enough Republican, because the Party will not back up one of their own – the one that you’ve chosen. Where do you go from there?

Where’s the Democracy in that?
