The Democrats are in an effort to allienate the Right Wing? No, moderate pubbies will alientate the right wing if they form alliances with Dems to pass legislation that could not be passed with a GOP majority (such as shamnesty).

Yes I saw that flaw after I posted, I meant Moderate..of course.
Anyone who has viewed the latest data gathered by Pew Research will see that the 'Grass Roots' is rapidly shrinking. The 'Grass Roots', is now mostly moderate, independent/Swing voters.(left leaning)
This is why all those once seemingly conservative Reps, began becoming Rinos. They are under constant pressure from their constituency to legislate in the middle, even to the left.
Why did we lose Santorum, Allen, many good republican governors, etc,,,? Because the political spectrum is changing rapidly to the Left. A whole new generation is emerging who are very politically active. They are known as the "Least Republican Generation". This is the largest problem facing conservatives today, not a party that simply does not listen to them any more. Sadly, it's a fact.
I could post graphs, etc,, but most of you can verify what I am saying by going to pewresearch.com.
