The political right of center seems to be made up of Conservatives, Moderates, Pragmatists and then the very vocal minority -- the Litmus Test crowd -- that demands that a politician agree exactly with them on every imaginable issue. If they fail even one test, then that politician is lumped in with the enemy side. And inevitably, every politician is going to fail at least one test.

Personally, I just tend to ignore the litmus test people. They make lots of noise, but they have little effect.

If it's any consolation, the left of center side is a mirror image.

Yet here you are signed on to a conservative activist group. Did you think that conservative activists would not make an effort to decide which candidates make it through the primaries and represent conservatism?
