"The ‘06 Republican defeat was the fault of the fringe voters who stayed home and allowed the dims to win just as some here are suggesting will be done with this year’s election."

That was part of it, but not the sum total.
Folks were fed up with out of control spending, and scandals such as the Mark Foley thing.
Plus, the 'Rats ran on earmarks...they said they would get rid of them.

Don't you remember the "Culture of Corruption"?

" The Republican leadership is smart enough to not allow that to happen again."

I wish I had your confidence.

"New voters must be brought into the party to replace the extremists on the right that would see this country devastated by a Clinton presidency."

So...who are these "extremists" of whom you speak?

The extremists are those who would not vote Republican thus allowing Hillary Obama to become president.
