12. They Backed Down on Each of Their Attempts to End the War
That would be more than one time, but I think it qualifies as a valid response to your request.

I don't think I ever suggested that they are only blackmailing Democrats.
They are likely to be blackmailing their fellow Repiglicans even more. That's how they maintain party discipline if their ability to control the handing out of campaign funds isn't enough.
They are blackmailing Repigs more because the Repigs are much more likely to be engaged in behavior that leaves them open to blackmail.
They'd have to make stuff up for a lot of the Democrats.

If they blackmailed almost all of the Repiglickins and just a few Democrats, it would produce approximately the behavior we are seeing.
