Everyone to the Right of Lieberman is a
'Right-wing Extremist'.

Thats what you get when you allow Libtards/Leftards to define the 'Truth' without laughing in their faces derisively every second.


Probably that demarcation will define who (to the right of it) will still be alive a few years off.......

Uhm, how exactly has the GOP moved away from you?

"Uhm, how exactly has the GOP moved away from you?"

oh boy, where to begin, this could be an article in itself.....

Lets just look at the first issue I listed. Abortion. Even if you are lucky to find a GOP candidate today who claims to be pro-life, he won't touch the issue with a 10 ft poll once elected. It would be political suicide.
Look at your main 2 hopefuls for Pres in '08, McCain, Gulliani. Pro-choice, pro-choice. The "social liberal"/ "fiscal conservative" GOP candidate is getting very popular.

Actually, McCain is pro-life. And you might be right about candidates not willing to touch the issue with a 10 ft pole, but Bush hasn't exactly been outspoken about abortion either, he just talks about the "culture of life".

Anyway, there is little a president can do to stop or limit abortions, even if he is passionate. Don't be fooled by the Constitution Party's deceptive claim that they will halt abortions by executive order, such a thing is impossible.

"I'd love to see a point where it (Roe v. Wade) is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary. But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations."

But that was the only time he said such a thing. It contradicted his record. Also, he has since then stated that, if he was governor, he would sign a ban if it included exceptions for rape, incest and for the life of the mother.

(Not a McCain fan here, BTW, he's unstable and unreliable.)

just read this. From the horses mouth.

The problem with the "pro-choice" and "pro-life" labels are their meanings can be decieving. Meaning that if you are a politician that likes to say he is "pro-life" to the public, but will do nothing to help out or spark the pro-life movement for fear of political retaliation, you might as well be "pro-choice" in my book. McCain is a centrist on the issue. He will never go to battle for it, so he is upholding the status quo, which in this case is unborn children continuing to be killed in droves. Like I said...I am the extremist here. :)
