We Social Conservatives wish that you centrists would be more civil. I guess that's too much to ask.

Anyways, being a bit of a nymrod (see definition below), I came up with my own wry self-descriptive recursive acronym:

IDEALIST

Integrity Driven Egalitarian Activist Longtermview Idealogical Sincere Truists

nymrod
noun. A person who insists on turning every multi-word term into an acronym.

recursive acronym
noun. An acronym that refers to itself, usually by incorporating the acronym as the first word in the expanded phrase.

I guess the social conservatives should have thought about that before hurling epithets of "RINO", "not a true conservative", "socialist", "gropinator" at the 85% that comprise the mainstream of the party. They also kind of gave up that notion of entitlement to courtesy when their boy was hurling accusations at the GOP frontrunner the weekend before the recall vote.

I almost forgot the ever popular standbys - "country clubbers", "wealthy elites", "RINOcrats", etc.

Your starting from a faulty premise.

Socially I am barely to the left of Genghis Khan....(PBJ teritory...Alan Keyes is my guy)....The operative word you seem to be not comprehending is PRAGMATIC.

You cannot wield power you cannot attain.
