"Opposition to Giuliani is centered around a bunch of extreme fringe zealots. Good riddance to them. I welcome their exit from the party."
And I welcome the exit of RINOs like Lincoln Chafee in the past election. Most republican losers in 2006 were RINOs. I welcome their exit.
Something about coming on a conservative forum and ranting about the right-wing seems like trolling to me. One poster even went on about "right-wing a**holes". Maybe Daily Kos would be more to your liking? They hate right-wingers there too.
Nah, I've given tons of time in service to the party, but a party of government is inclusive, not exclusive. And I view the GOP as a party of government. I'm weary of social conservative zealots and their purist ideology. They have caused massive headaches for the GOP in states as divergent as OK and PA.
I welcomed the depature of people like Chafee because of his lack of loyalty to the party. That said, I also welcomed the exit of Allen and Santorum who thought they could build the party in sparsely populated formerly Democratic regions of their states by thumbing their noses at once heavily Republican suburban voters. We want low taxes and security.
