David Duke was over the line, but Partial Birth Abortion is not? And drawing this line makes me a supporter of totalitarian party discipline. Really?

Yup.

It's up to the party members to police the ranks and enforce the ideology, not the party leaders.

I don't want a GOP where the leaders decide who gets funded and who does not.

Today they do not fund candidates who support abortion, tomorrow they do not fund candidates who oppose gun control.

Erik, tell me, you're really not this dense. Please tell me.

I'm not advocating that the Party determines who gets funded and who doesn't. The Party spends its own funds to support candidates. The Party decides which candidates it will give its limited funds to.

The Party uses some criteria to decide how to distribute those monies. The Party determined that David Duke was beyond the pale. Not only did they not fund David Duke, they made clear that the Republican Party did NOT support David Duke. American political parties can't expel people from membership or claimed affiliation or they would've sent Duke packing. They did what they could.

IMHO, support for Partial Birth Abortion is beyond the pale. The Republican Party ought not give funds to candidates, who support Partial Birth Abortion. Newt disagreed.

Would you fund a candidate, who supports Partial Birth Abortion? If no, does that make you some kind of a member of a totalitarian party?

It this finally clear enough for you? How old are you? You sound like one of the #Occupy protestors.
