I think they would like to keep the GOP divide going, they used it in this election and they would love to keep it going for 2008. Best to tell them to Buzz off. And since when did they get nice and just want to talk?

I think there are a LOT of folks who are Democrats by reason of either family tradition or one overriding issue )Unions, minimum wage, immigration) who are uncomfortable with the 'base'. I *KNOW* people who vote. or really want to vote democratic because of blue collar economic issues who are also staunch gun aficionados and quite, quite willing to open a can of whoop-ass on islamofacism. The brilliance of Reagan was how he transcended that.

I don't know how old you are. I voted for Reagan twice. In his early days he was a Dem. He saw the light and so did a lot of people who voted for him.
You are right about the sometime "family tradition". A lot of them still are thinking they are voting for the old Kennedy Dems. They don't pay attention, so many times they are voting against some of those things they hold dear. I am aware some of these people want to kick Muzzie butt, but voting for the Now Liberal Democrats is a weak way to fight them. The people that voted for faux Dems centrist were fooled in order to win the election. Democrats for the most part have been after taking away guns for a long time. If they have their way they will succeed. You can believe your way, and thats fine, I also know those who think your way. It seems like transcending "smoke and mirrors" is a good place to start.
