To all the right-wing anti-Purgies

Well put baldguy.

I have notice the same thing you do, that all those who want to "purge" the party or anyone who doesn't think like they do, are the ones throwing around the "authoritarian" label, yet as you pointed out, what they are doing themselves is the mark of an authoritarian way of thinking.

Trying to get rid of people in the party is not going to fix anything if those who end up running things have to have a purity test for all the candidates that they allow to run. The idea of "my way or the highway" sound more like tea party thinking that democratic thinking. I everyone had the "my way or the highway", attitude we would never get anything accomplished in D.C., only more gridlock than ever before.

We have all seen the damage done by the teapublicans when they "demand" a no compromise stand on anything they don't like. If member of both parties had that same attitude think how much worse it would be. Now I don't agree with everything the democratic party does, I do think that even the worst democrat is better than best republican in day of the week. Just because a member of confess does not vote the way I may like them to vote on a certain issue, does not mean they should be "purged".
