It is the religious right and/or the far right conservatives that come up with the litmus test for Republican candidates -- it is 100% of what they want or they threaten to stay home.

Where did you get that idea? From what I see, the liberal Republicans will never support a concervative Republican candidate, but conservative Republicans always have to come through for the liberal candidates. Look what happened in NJ in 2001. After Schundler won, the state GOP took their ball and went home. Even though he was a three time winner in an overwhelmingly Democrat city, they would rather have a Democrat. Same thing happened in California. They actually had a group called ``Republicans for Davis.''

From the religious right that stayed home in 2000 rather than vote for Bush and from the threats made by the religious right on this forum.

Don't tell me you haven't seen the threats -- I am not voting for Bush again because . . . . fill in the blank!
