The new conservative purity test

Red State's Erik Erickson wants to read the Teabaggers out of the conservative movement, but believes there's still votes to be mined from the 'mos:

Bob Bennett, so intent on winning re-election in Utah cast as the social conservative he is not, insisted that he be the Republican point man on gay marriage in Washington, D.C.

Bennett sponsored a resolution that would force DC to put the issue to a referendum vote.

But did Bennett fight for the legislation and force the Senate to vote on it?

Nope.

Gay marriage begins in DC tomorrow. Thanks, Bob.

Oh, and thanks to Bennett’s bungling, Catholic adoption agencies in DC that refuse to handle gay adoptions are having to shut down.
