Oh, I’ve written letters. I’m one of those here who does not give any money to the RNC, or the RSCC, or the RCCC.

I donate to specific candidates.

However, my reasons for not donating would not be assauged if the RNC adopted a purity list such as posted here.

What I would like to see is for them to get more local input in recruitment, to NOT support candidates in primaries (even incumbents), and to adopt a set of principles (and even issues, and it could be like your list) that are the “official” majority position of the RNC that would be used by the leadership when responding to things the democrats do.

So, I want the Republicans to be the conservative party, and to espouse a list like what you have made, but NOT to kick out potential candidates simply for not adhering to the list.

The local committee can apply the litmus test appropriate for the local electorate. The people who are purists can be independents, and can send letters telling each party what the party needs to nominate to get their vote.

It's not a purity list. See post 70. It's called a Party Platform. The RNC has one. It's not unreasonable to ask them to support and believe it.
