The majority of Republican voters are moderates, and have been for a long time. Protected bubbles like FR can cause people to lose perspective.
Stop saying that or its going to get the hose again.
Seriously though...you don't know how many times I have tried to explain that to people on this board...but no dice. Think about it: Shouldn't FR have a MUCH larger membership than it does? It's 50K people. There are tens of MILLIONS of hard core right wing Republicans. I talk to people all the time who are just as conservative as I am that have never heard of FR...and thus...they never hear most of the things we are talking about....unless they happen to catch it on Rush...or some other talk show...but not even Rush talks about a lot of the stuff going on that you can see posted on FR.
