Conservatives Make a List to Measure Candidates’ Commitment

The New York Times.

WASHINGTON — A group of conservative Republican leaders is proposing a solution to the internecine warfare over what the party should stand for: a 10-point checklist gauging proper adherence to core principles like opposing government financing for abortion and, more generally, President Obama’s “socialist agenda.”

In what was being dubbed a purity test when it leaked out to reporters on Monday, the proposal would require the party to withhold campaign money and endorsements from candidates who do not adhere to at least eight principles on the checklist.

While it is unclear whether the test will be adopted when it is put up for consideration before the Republican National Committee early next year, its drafting is a striking example of the intensified internal debate among Republicans about how best to handle pressure from conservatives to move the party more to the right and to recapture control of Congress and the White House.

Its introduction increases pressure on the party chairman, Michael Steele, as he tries to maintain a balance between those in his party who have been saying the road to a Republican comeback is to include divergent views and appeal to the political center, and those who say the party needs to more fully embrace conservative principles.

Ah, shaddup, Meghan. You’ve been irrelevant for a long time now .

Go cram a pizza down your craw, or something.

Nobody cares what you think first off.

Second there's nothing wrong with people signing a pledge if they want to do so. So what is it to you if they want to be on record for something? Just shows they believe certain things and have strong convictions about them.

No different than adopting a party platform goals and saying I'll fight for the those goals as a republican.

Boy the young really are dumb and spoiled these days. At least they don't feel embarassed to be stupid.

Feh. Lots of stupid in that age group. Not smart enough yet to know what they’re saying.

Come to think of it... that’s a pretty good argument to raise the voting age to 30.

We don’t need to trust the RNC to do that. Just don’t give any money to the RNC. Give directly to candidates you support.
