    The Tea Party was pretty big on that from the get-go, AFAICS.

      There hasn't been a Republican in office since Bush Senior. But if you want examples, take the Tea Party with their rants about the neo-cons. Or take take the Alt-Right that call anything left of Ayn Rand, or anything that doesn't embrace "racial realism" Edited by a Moderator.

        Well, yeah, but again, the Tea Party isn't the RNC. ON THE OTHER HAND, maybe you have a good point, in that it's not really "the Democratic Party" that's whacking those out of step - it's the leftists in the party. They just happen to be in charge of the party.

            More to the point... (bolding mine)

            WASHINGTON — The Democratic National Committee chairman has stirred up controversy, saying every Democrat should be pro-choice — or as many pro-life advocates put it: "pro-abortion."

            According to Friday's Huffington Post, DNC Chairman Thomas Perez stated, "Every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman's right to make her own choices about her body and her health. That is not negotiable."

            Marjorie Dannenfelser, a top pro-life advisor to President Donald Trump, fired back, "Never has it been so clear: on abortion, there is no room for dissent or exceptions among Democrats; only support for the party's radical platform, which calls for abortion on-demand, up until the moment of birth, paid for by taxpayer dollars.

            Pro-Life Democrats Are No Longer Welcome

            The National Right to Life's president also blasted the DNC chairman's abortion stance.

            "Dating back to the ouster of Pennsylvania Governor Bob Casey from their 1992 convention, Democrats have become increasingly intolerant of pro-life Americans within their own ranks. By forcing all Democrats to pledge fealty to the abortion industry's extreme agenda, Tom Perez has completed the party's transformation and sent the message the pro-life Democrats are no longer welcome in their party," stated NRL President Carol Tobias.


            That's a better summary.

                Well this is all good. It will shrink the ranks of the Democrats and swell the ranks of the Republicans (or maybe the Libertarians)

                You go, Democrats! Keep it up!

                  Presumably he doesn't consider Bush Junior or Trump true Republicans.

                    Or any other Republican governor, or congressmen/women?

                      I'm not getting how that's the equivalent of the party that preaches tolerance preventing their own party members from running over single issue politics.
                      It's not comparable in that sense. I was responding specifically to the part about internal part fire. It's largely a Tea Party movement, like what got Eric Cantor primaried in Virginia.
                      "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

                        That's actually what I was thinking - my Dad was the first person I ever heard say "I didn't quit the Democratic Party - they quit me". And this sounds like they're determined to 'quit' anybody who isn't a firebreathing liberal.

                          Seeing that, under Obama, the Republicans have gained 63 House seats, 10 Senate seats, 12 Governorships, and quite a few State houses, it's really nonsense....

                            She says, "on abortion, there is no room for dissent or exceptions among Democrats...." That's certainly true, but you could insert pretty much any political topic in place of abortion and the statement still holds.

                              I don't know - abortion seems to be a pretty solid litmus test for the leftists. I know there are "single issue voters" who would make such a declaration, but...

                                Yeah, I just meant that they're that way on seemingly everything. No dissent allowed, ever.
