[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The public is not as far from the Reagan mindset as you seem to think. Remember, "the Senate won't confirm a truely conservative judge for the Supreme Court." Only they DID!!!!

I would like you to define "right wing extremist" please. Do you mean someone who is pro-life? Someone who is pro NORMAL marriage? Someone who won't spend money like it grows on trees? What exactly is this awful extremist you are talking about? hmmm?

Well I'd start by defining it as someone who uses four exclamation points to defend a conservative policy ^^;

The Supreme Court was on the ballot in 2004 as part of GWB platform and I don't know anyone who was saying the Senate would not confirm a truly conservative judge. And no, I don't think someone who is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage and who works to decrease the size of government an extremist. I'm all three of those :)

It's almost never an issue of values, it's almost always an issue of degrees and rhetoric. You have to learn to calm yourself before you can seek practical solutions. I'll take a small win any day, every day. The hardliners want the 100% of their view in initiatives NOW and don't care if they lose the battle, the war, and the country.
