the hard-core conservatives are pulling the Republican Party as far right as possible and less hard-core conservatives don't appreciate being viciously insulted for not cooperating.

Dang, you just burned up another irony meter.

Might want to check those settings then ;-)

Go back through the posts and tally up which side has hurled the most insults and insisted that only "their" view properly represents the Republican Party? Count how many times the term RINO has been used and who has used it. Look at which side insists the Republican Party can carry both camps ...and which side claims Republicans have to vote for only the purist religious or conservative ideology or they are somehow lacking in morals?

I believe that the different elements in the Republican Party SHOULD debate conservative ideals... but the self-righteous attitudes about who is a REAL Republican are useless and destructive.

Some folks have at once so much to say, while having so little to say. And there you have it.
