WASHINGTON–Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine said Wednesday there is a “civil war” within the GOP.<\/p>\n
Kaine made his remarks at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, where he discussed the new DNC program to energize for the November mid-term elections some 15 million first time voters the Obama campaign recruited in 2008.<\/p>\n
Republicans are wrestling with Tea Party activists, an “energy” Democrats take seriously, Kaine said. Unlike Republicans, Democrats, Kaine said are unified.<\/p>\n
“We don’t have a civil war going on within the Democratic Party. You know, we know who our leader is, it is the President. The other side has a civil war, that is ‘who is our leader, which faction are we going to follow’ and the other side tends to have a little more of a litmus test- ‘if you are not with us, we are going to throw you out.’<\/p>\n
\n“That’s not who we are. Not that we agree on everything, but we are usually at least singing in harmony, if not the same note. But there is a real battle going on on the other side.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
