So what you are saying is that the conservatives have been right all along and that the GOP will continue it leftward tilt and merge with the Dems, right?

Who are these 'far right' people that you despise so much, besides Eternal Vigilance (and quite likely now, me)?

BTW, you should take any compliment that you get even if it is an insult and misconstrued by you as a compliment.

If you don't agree with my analysis, then fine. I have no problem with that.

But that is not what generally happens, or what happened with the exchange between me, and EV.

What he did, and almost always does, is to launch directly into a personal attack.

A person can take that is one of two ways. You can respond in kind, or you can blow it off with a bit of sarcasm and humor.

It is usually the case that sarcasm and humor are taken as personal by anyone who is so wrapped up in their own personae that everything to them is personal and rational discussion is unwanted and rejected in favor of a spitting contest. This is the case with EV and most blind activists on both the liberal and conservative side. In fact, you cannot tell the difference between them if you did not know something about the individual.

This is the disease that is damaging the coalition, and I have come to the conclusion that it will not be cured without some pain to the party.

Either it stops, or the GOP with collapse from within without any assistance from the Dems.

You know it, I know it, we all suspected it and now it is happening.

Either this party gets along with it's own membership, or we will have to dismantle the base. It is obvious to anyone who cares, and has been repeated many times over the past three years and in previous election cycles.

The warning was issued, the dire predictions were made, and now the reality of it will occur. I don't think anyone on the conservative side has ever had any inclination to stop it, so the blame is easy to place.

Ain't that lovely, Ray? We've "got a disease" that "must be stopped".

Instead of satisfying conservatives by doing the right thing, they're determinded to purge them from the Party.

If, God forbid, they succeed, I hope they have fun trying to recruit the Hispanics. Maybe they can buy lists from ANSWER.
