Well, poll numbers are pretty accurate and been confirmed by numbers. WE claim based on some good solid facts that the GOP is out of touch with ordinary Americans. Demographics are against us. More people vote Dim than GOP. Social issues are moving decidedly Left.

Well then, obviously, we must adopt a Liberal Democrat platform.....right?

Look, you've been a concern-troll-style naysayer and parade-rainer since I noticed you on the forum.

I offer a much more likely take on this: Republicans HAVE adopted a much more leftward posture, and the reason Republican support is down, is that people who are liberal won't favor Republicans ANYWAYS, and people who are conservative won't favor Republicans with the new liberal veneer.

Would it be more accurate to believe that it is the republican party “leadership” is what has steered more to the center, and dipping its toe in the left side of the tub, than the “base” conservative (Tea Party) type???

I’m just asking if that might be what you see Laz???

Not trying to beat you over the head with it or parsing words...I just want to see if we are on the same page...No prob, Bob...
