RNC Resolution Would Boot Key Recruits


If the conservative "purity test" is enacted by the RNC next year, The Hotline notes it would have the effect of eliminating several prominent GOP Senate recruits from receiving party money, including Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE).

1. I hope they keep getting more and more pure into full Aryan purity

They're purifying themselves into a permanent minority party. Didn't Uncle Adolph impose his own purity tests?

4. And loyalty oaths.

2. It's a scream that their precious Ronnie Reagan wouldn't qualify by a long shot! nt

3. Candidates must believe in the Holy Trinity

Rush, Beck, and O'Rilley.

And must also believe in the immaculate virgin, Anne Coulter...

5. Ron Paul and his fans must be shitting a brick over this

Not that I care...anything that divides the GOP is a good thing in my book. :thumbsup:

6. Good, so long as it hurts the GOP.

It's nice to see the RW taking the GOP apart.
