By now, most anyone who's been paying attention has seen that the 'conservatism' wing of the Republican party is threatening primary against any Republican candidate who doesn't serve the conservative cause (read Tea Party). The RNC has floated a list of 10 'principles', of which any candidate must support at least 8, or face the wrath of the Republican base. A decent Montana discussion of that list is at Missoulapolis. This strategy for ensuring party purity is quite obviously called the "litmus test". It generally speaking works best with those who value the authority of central control, or fear its absence, and it's a small wonder why the Republican base is eating it up.
The lesson is that, for some, ideological purity, or at least the appearance of it, is very safe and desired.
