I don't speak for anybody but myself. But I am extremly offended by those who try to make the argument, as PEG does, and as I've seen you do, that the "base" is divided.

I'm watching and talking about what I consider "the base". And it NEVER included Peggy Noonan, Bill Kristol, David Frum, John Fund, or whoever else tries to insert themselves into importance. Which is all this column of PEG Noonan is attempting to do.

Poor PEG, hasn't learned the Dan Rather lesson yet. The internet has usurped her little Opionion Journal piece.

That's just my abuse of terms. Sorry about that. The base is solid. It's the kook fringer unappeasables, who are of no value to the party (in fact, they HURT the party) who are being unreasonable.

I guess Rush Limaugh or Michell Malkin ...Ann Coulter are not part your base either.

Jeez...who do you have left?...or who is your base?

Ah, so if someone is in opposition to Dubya, especially a conservative commentator (Kristol excepted) he can't possibly represent the base, because that would be 'inserting himself into importance,' whereas the President and those supporting him are truly representative of 'the base,' even though some 40% of the folks here seem in opposition to her nomination and FR generally represents ITSELF as composed of the base GOP population.

Good to know the standards have been set. /sarc

You can speak for me!! The media pundits you mentioned don't represent me and I am proudly right wing.

Pres. Bush has done much for this country and gets no thanks. Imagine what Gore or Kerry would have done to our way of life by now
