The Palin group is wrong on the issues. They are ideologically way wrong on the issues. So this is an apples and oranges comparison.

Expecting Democrats to vote the interests of their constituents is hardly a strong litmus test. Why shouldn't the electorate expect their candidates to vote their interests? Democrats in support of the PUBLIC OPTION are correct. Those that vote against it are voting to protect the interests of the insurance industry. Huge difference. According to polls, support for the PUBLIC OPTION is doing the people's will.

Democrats that want my vote will be environmentally minded, favor organized labor, support civil rights for EVERYONE and support health care fairness. If that is a litmus test, so be it.
