No, it’s just not ignoring the facts as they happen to exist.
I would agree that if 100% of “legal” voters actually voted, the nation would indeed shift hard to the right. But 50% don’t vote at all. The 50% who do vote, seldom pass an opportunity to vote themselves favor from the treasury.
Those seeking favor specifically, never pass an opportunity to vote and they never vote conservative.
Last, you and I disagree on what a “conservative” is. You believe that one must be an anti-war isolationist and a social liberal in order to be a “conservative.”
I believe that these conditions make one a “libertarian”, not a conservative.
Liberals and libertarians agree only on three things. Anti-war, pro-liberal social policies and anyone who doesn’t agree, is a neocon or Nazi.
Those 50% who don’t vote at all aren’t given much to be interested in voting for. Not with the GOP leadership pushing a$$bats like McCain and Guilani.
