When has a Republican senator or representative been kicked out for voicing a differing opinion? I'm assuming, according to your logic, John McCain will be kicked out sometime soon for his vote yesterday? What about the Republican senator who is now pro gay marriage (Dick Cheney is one too as a matter of fact)? Will they be kicked out too? Or what about Ron Paul and his foreign policy? Will they call for his head soon?

I see you are one of those people who doesn't understand snarky hyperbole. Too bad for you.

The point still stands, republicans very vocally value tribalism over most other things. They loudly rant about "real americans" and "how they don't matter, just us" and "I don't like it, but thats just how we play" (the last a particularly vile buck passing - rather than take responsibility, it gets to be no one's fault "cuz the party").
