You're right, I should have qualified that to state a portion of the hard-right. There are a great many that understand the percentages involved and add their weight to the GOP to stand as a coalition... I was referring to the others on this site that seem to despise the GOP with their every atom. I've also seen some specifically mention looking forward to the death of the GOP someday and how the CP or LP can then thrive.
Yeah, LOL!
They lie in wait for total anarchy.
A anarchy that is often espoused here on the forum.You should see the fuss about CP in the southern poor regions that know little of politics and react to promises of the promised land.IMHO
That is what I see. It reminds me of the Communist romp that occurred in the unions of days past.
They made huge inroads with people who only wanted a few more dollars per week.
A lot of us want to be able to go into the pollbooths next November and support what Dubyuh's doing by lending him our vote. Sure, we complain when we feel he offends our RightWing sensibilities, but I continue to believe Dubyuh's got a conservative core that simply needs to be brought to the fore and squash the Milquetoast Moderates who seem to hold sway in his Administration on domestic spending. These folks seem to believe if you spend like a DemonRAT, you can win over the Left. However, as evidenced by the visceral HATRED the Left harbors for Dubyuh, it ain't necessarily so!!

Certainly those folks exist, and many are disillusioned past the point of ever supporting the GOP again. They were around four years ago supporting Buchanan and I had folks actually tell me that they wanted things to get worse so that they could get better. I didn't agree with it then, and I don't agree with it now...I'd like incremental improvement, thankyouverymuch!! That's what frustrates me so much when Dubyuh supports an incremental growth in Domestic Discretionary spending, I feel like we're losing despite having OUR folks at the controls!!
FReegards...MUD
BTW...I tend to agree with the anti-GOP folks on one point...that is, I can foresee a possible scenario wherein the UltraLeft abandons the RATS and supports the Green Party (or the Socialist Party or whatever) and the GOP melds into the ModerateParty by joining with the leftover RATS, and a Constitution Party or a Libertarian Party swallows up the remains of the Right. However, this possibility ain't happening this time around, and won't happen if the HildaBeast runs in '08!!
