Just my observation I’d say no. See how few responses most threads have. And with the ongoing Birther takeover and the growing tendency to condemn any Republican that won’t toe the conservative line on every issue all the time I predict an increasing slide into irrelevance. JMHO, though.

That is because most news stories are posted at least 5 times.

Of course, this is a conservative web site not a Republican web site.

Are you a leftover from the Giuliani bots?

the growing tendency to condemn any Republican that won’t toe the conservative line on every issue all the time

I found that a tad amusing since this is a "conservative" blog and not a "republican" blog. True, the Republican party has courted the conservatives as their base for a mighty long time. But when the Republican party swings away from conservatism, the conservatives do not follow along for the ride. That is, after all, what makes us conservative in the first place -- we remain true to our origins. And, if we do "slide into irrelevance", at least we'll do it in good company :-)

“.. .the growing tendency to condemn any Republican that won’t toe the conservative line on every issue all the time I predict an increasing slide into irrelevance.”

First, I am no longer a Republican, and I am still here, As far as toeing the “conservative” line, that is what a alot of the food fights on threads are over. What is and what should be the conservative line.

IMHO, I think the anarcho-Capitalists are a cancerous rot at the heart of the GOP and not what true conservatism is about. I do pretty much toe the line on other conservative issues.

So I speak my piece, I get called some names, I call some names back, and hopefully we all end up smarter in the process. I think some people hold back and don’t want to get caught up in these conflicts, but in my 11 years of being here, I have not seen any people who argue in good faith run off.

Jim Thompson is right that this is not “liberal” forum, and not a place for trolls and such, but I see a lot of discussion on this site, and it is pretty much the only one I hang out at since I am no longer involved in PUF.

I see the birthers and anti-birthers fight. The pro-Palin and ?Palins discuss.

Looks to me like there are plenty of new faces.

Plus, where else do you get such a broad spectrum of article?

parsy.
