Yes, IF the base were to blend with DU, that would be a problem. Then again, when loyal Bush supporters smack-down anyone who doesn't march lock-step behind the President, that's a problem, too.
There is much blending in with DU here from people who CLAIM to be the base. The only thing differentiating the hysterical haters here from DU are the forum rules.
The people you have problems with are the real base........us.
