"But you cannot speak for ALL that 30 percent, can you?"

No, but contacts (modest though they are) along with everything I read and hear, points to a level of disengagement that I believe is unprecedented in recent times. Few would deny that it is very serious.

" In fact, most of US consider ourselves conservatives, too, although you look down your nose at us."

All I can go by is the posting history of specific FReepers. Some reflect posters who are loyal American conservatives while others indicate someone who may claim to be a conservative but whose posts fall into the GOP Big Tent party-above-principle category. I respect the former and have nothing but contempt for the latter because there are few principles they will not sacrifice in order to record an (R) "win". They may be compromisers but they are not conservatives.

"And you need to face the fact that you need US more than we need you."

I don't think that's how it plays, but lets hope things get fixed before we have to find out who need whom the most.
