Yes, ‘extremism’, by definition, reduces electoral appeal.
Do you want to win the general election, or get creamed like Goldwater?

You and I are different people. You are a moderate,clearly.

The democrats don't share your disdain of principled extreme candidate politicians. Look at Obama, the MOST liberal Ideology-driven senator was there choice. The sheeple both like and respect principled conservatives, we just don't have any.

Grow up and grow a pair.
