I thought the GOP had a wide tent?

Bob Vass, a Republican candidate for Hall County Clerk of Court and former two-term Sheriff, has been disavowed by E. Paul Stanley as not being Republican enough.
From the Local Republican Chair’s website:

Republicans In Name Only (”RINOs”) are the biggest threat to our party today.  It is no longer enough that an elected official simply call themselves a “Republican,” but they must also actually BE a Republican.  In Hall County the GOP Executive Committee (and the voters) will decide who is a real Republican.  Past performance, voting history, campaign supporters, and those you support are factors used to determine whether someone is a Republican.

 …We can’t allow our Republican “brand” to be watered down by those who do not support our positions.  I’m fond of saying that our tent is big enough for just about everyone to come in, but you have to order off of our menu.

It sounds like a very limited menu.
