It wasn't so very long ago members of each party would seek to purge their parties of misfits. It is honorable. It is healthy. It is the right thing to do.

Name a nationally known Democrat misfit that was "purged" in the last 25 years or so. Folks who saw the light, or at least felt the heat, and switched parties do not count.

"Name a nationally known Democrat misfit that was "purged" in the last 25 years or so."

When I said not so very long ago, I didn't mean yesterday.  Both parties seemed to stop correcting their own by the mid sixties.
