6. Why do we make fun of GOP purity tests |
|
Edited on Tue Jan-05-10 06:12 PM by Clintonista2
But get up in arms anytime a dem opposes abortion/gay marriage/ single payer healthcare/etc. Maybe it's not the test itself that is at fault, but rather the crappy policies the right uses as the basis for that test. Frankly, I wouldn't be against cutting off funding for any dem that opposes gay marriage or abortion.

13. If the DNC had introduced a similar test |
|
Edited on Tue Jan-05-10 06:20 PM by Clintonista2
In which candidates who wish to run as a Democratic member of congress were required to fulfill certain criteria in order to recieve funding(pro choice, anti-war, pro gay rights, etc), all of DU would wholeheartedly support it, myself included. Making fun of the RW purity test seems a tad hypocritical considering many of the same people here are for tossing out (purging) every blue dog in congress from the party.

The Blue Dog and Liberal Democrats are chalk and Cheese. Really, only the DLC has anything like doctrinal unity (Within the Democratic Party that is)

15. Regardless, would you be opposed to candidates having to fulfil certain progressive criteria |
|
in order to recieve party funds? When people laugh at the GOP for doings this, all I'm thinking to myself is "I wish we did that."

17. It's what they've implied the purity tests will be used for |
|
Regardless of whether or not they actually do it, it doesn't change the concept itself.

Renunciation of obamunism. This seems to be a big deal for Republicans these days.
