GOP Establishment has their own 'purity test,' just 8 easy points. #1. 'Never question good intentions of Democrats'

.
To pathetic Michael Gerson: Angelo Codevilla documented the GOP merger with Democrats. According to you his heartfelt words had nothing to do with reality, were just "fundraising:"

2/20/13, “As Country Club Republicans Link Up With The Democratic Ruling Class, Millions Of Voters Are Orphaned,” Angelo Codevilla, Forbes
.
“Increasingly the top people in government, corporations, and the media collude and demand submission as did the royal courts of old.”…

11/5/13,  "Oh my. Well, GOP Establishment types have their own purity test. Here´s how to pass it:" by commenter Steve W. at Lucianne.com, posted at 5:50:45AM

"1. Never question the "good intentions" of the Democrats.

2. Never criticise or even bring up Socialism, even when Democrats try to nationalise an entire industry such as health care.

3. Agree with the Democrat definition of "civility" and adjust all discourse accordingly.
 
4. Agree with the Democrat goal of growing the size and scope of the already gargantuan Welfare State, but call a slight reduction in its growth a "conservative" priority.

5. Never, at any cost, expose any truth about Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama, as this will only cause the R word to be hurled at you.
 
6. Never expose any unethical collusion between the White House and the MSM, as this might adversely effect your own media exposure.
 
7. Call any Republican who refuses to play along with the craven accommodation of the Democrats´ socialist agenda a "wacko bird" or "fringe extremist".
 
8. When in doubt, cave in.

Did I miss anything?"

Above comment was in response to:

11/4/13, "The GOP's New Reality," Washington Post, by Michael Gerson

"This vivid turn of phrase — “purity for profit”— captures the main reason Republican leaders are edging away from a strategy of accommodation. The Obama era has unleashed a great deal of genuine populist and libertarian energy. But a good portion of it is being channeled into business and fundraising models that depend on stoking resentment against the GOP itself (at least as currently constituted)."...

Comment: Gerson thinks we're all stupid, have been on another planet for over a decade, or are merely being swayed by "profiteers." Perhaps just a case of projection. The GOP establishment daily reveals itself to be sicker than anyone could've imagined. It's fine if Republicans find their ideology compatible with Democrats'. They simply need to immediately file paperwork making their Democrat status official.
