Except perhaps for Ronald Reagan, the far right or solid conservatives have had no say in either party.

Don’t worry about it. The Tea Party will solve the Conservative problem for you.

Could the answer be to infiltrate them with a loudmouthTexan that will move the party to the left?

Funny thing about Reagan is that the people who said he was too conservative to get elected then, are now calling him a moderate in an attempt to sell us their moderate candidates.

Under the bus, go over him and then put it in reverse for good measure.

Anybody who doesn’t want the country to go bankrupt is now officially hard right. Everybody who is ok with us spending ourselves to oblivion is “moderate”. Wow!

No kidding, I am so tired of these so called moderates who want to evict the GOP base from the party. They need to put on their man panties and strike out on their own. They can elect McCain and Graham as king and queen of their party.

Hey Safford, worry about rescuing the Jackass Party from the Progressive Socialist wingnuts, and you need lose no more sleep over the matter.

What exactly defines the “radical right”? I’d like to know if I am one.

Great post, except for the waste of including the link. The rest is excellent!

Let me quote the good part here: " "

This guy makes an assertion--that the GOP has been taken over by the "right wing" and then cites no evidence...only more assertions ("These individuals "are the radical libertarians that dominate the right-wing talk radio and outlets like Fox News... "). Then he dares to quote Ronald Reagan for support?

How, exactly, do the views of Palin, Bachman, Cain or other so called "right wingers" DIFFER from Ronald Reagan? For that mastter, how do the conservative pundits on talk radio (RUSH) or commentators on Fox news differ from President Reagan? (If anything, they are NOT as Conservative as Reagan.)

I remember Ronald Reagan, I voted for him (twice)--and anyone who complains about the Republican Party moving right, was NO SUPPORTER of Ronald Reagan.

Where are the John Birchers--or even the Pat Buchanans--"real" right wingers? NOT in the Republican party OR the Tea Party, for sure.

Much better with a “loudmouth Texan” than any possibility whatsoever that O will be re-elected.

The perfect should never be the enemy of the good. Last I checked, Jesus isn’t on the ballot, ...
