Ever wonder why Democrats toe the line?/
The Democrats threats against their members are much stronger than any Republican Tea Party threat.
And the threats from the RINOs to the Tea Party are hollow because the Tea Party either has the votes on their side, or they went to D.C. solely on principle. Hence why Allen West would never change his positions even in the face of the RINOs redistricting him out of the House. Democrats only have a loyal voter base and only vote on principle in a small handful of hard core leftist districts. Most of them only win by manipulating the public into believing lies, and they need the financial support of the party to buy enough advertising to do that. Hence the party’s threats have real teeth.
