"I get the impression that Republicans view conservatives like the dims view minorties; "Who else are they going to vote for". They can throw out some red meat to the faithful every now and then, but if my impression is correct they have made a fatal calculation."
So, are you saying we've boxed ourselves in? We can't go extreme right because no one would take us seriously and obviously, ethics and convictions disallow any acquiescing to the left? Hmmmm...????
There's no much "extreme" about the right I'm talking about. Republicans keep forgetting that they win elections when they are conservatives but they're trying (I guess) to lock up the mushy middle and the hispanic vote.
