No moderates allowed

Not in the GOP, that's for sure: "Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele on Wednesday refused to retreat on his pledge to back primary challengers against the three GOP senators who voted in favor of President Barack Obama's $787 billion stimulus."
"I'm not backing down from that," said Steele.
No, I'm sure he's not, not that he's now kowtowed before Dear Leader Rush. Stressing his own right-wing bona fides, whatever his hip-hop hopes for the unhippest party around, he's presiding over a party of extremism, ever more extremism, one in which difference, let alone dissent, is simply verboten.
The Republican Party, where ideological purges happen. Good times.
