I understand what it means, are you talking about conservatives or the GOP, you seem to equate both as one in the same.
I know too much about our history and understand political realities too well to accept such drivel.
It is not drivel, it is cold hard facts. I stated that the GOP is not the right, only a party of members of various view points. Another way to look at it is a cup is the GOP and you have marbles in it (say 5 red for the left, 10 green for moderates and 5 blue for conservatives) now then there are other cups with marbles in it (one with lots of red in it for the democrats and one for the Constitution party, or whatever, with a handful of blues, we will say 8). Now if you take the blues out of the GOP cup and put them in the Constitution party cup, what do you have. Are the conservatives (the right) weaker, no because there is no loss in the number of them. Is the GOP weaker, yes because they lost members. It is as simple as that, plain and simple. Remember (say it with me) the GOP is not the right. The conservatives are the right.
