Key RNC members to oppose 'purity resolution'

Posted: January 27th

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

Honolulu, Hawaii (CNN) - A key voting bloc within the Republican National Committee on Wednesday rejected the so-called "purity resolution" that would forbid party money from going to moderate GOP candidates.

In a private meeting, the RNC's state chairman's committee voted unanimously to oppose the resolution, which would force GOP candidates to ascribe at least eight of 10 conservative principles, or else be cut off from RNC financial support. It was submitted this week by 10 committee members.

The measure has drawn criticism from Republicans who want to broaden the party's appeal.

The purity resolution is not officially dead. It will still go to the resolutions committee tomorrow, which will decide whether to bring it to a full committee vote Friday at the RNC general session.

1. Do it! Fights over purity in the Repub party would be funny and

would benefit Dems.

2. Hahahahaha.

This will, in turn, piss the Tea Partiers off at them, and the circular firing squad will continue.

How's it feel to eat your own, Republicans? HUH?

3. Oh, c'mon! Don't make them sign a purity resolution, make them wear GOP purity rings!

7. Nope- feeling sorry for Americans

as the Republicans move further to the whack right, and the Dems blow opportunity after opportunity to relegate them to them to fringe, your situation when the 51% choose party B over party A, is going to end up considerably less than pleasant than it was under Bush.

9. You're feeling sorry for Americans so you question laughing at Republicans?

I don't buy it!

8. Okay, that's it

They're officially off the track. "Purity resolution"?

Was this only for the state party in HI, or for the whole Repiglican party?
