Oh, don't you wish. No way, shape, or form are you mainstream.

This made me chuckle. You know, I don't mind not being "mainstream" myself, because I know what mainstream means; it means compromising on the Constitution, it means accepting Socialistic ideas like federally provided health care, it means changing to meet public opinion, it means lying to your constituents to get elected, it means accepting less than the ideal, it means negotiating on the truth (like abortion and gay "rights"). Frankly, being mainstream means you accept and operate within the realm of deception.

I thank my lucky starts that I've not sunken into the mire of the slough of despair that I call "mainstream". That was the nicest compliment she could have paid you and the biggest insult that she could have paid to herself and others like her. LOL.

I'm not sure I agree with your definition of "mainstream", but I like the original thought -- thanks for the post.

The word I would use for someone like that is a "trimmer" or "compromiser". Bob Dole would be my perfect example. He had two needs: A) Be in the room when the Big Deal goes down, B) Be able to "produce results" for his audience by being able to hold up a bill at the end of the "process". And never mind content so much.

Lose, loser, losest.

I guess definitions of 'mainstream' differ... ;-)

I will stay comfortably in the mainstream of the conservative movement...no problem there.

The trouble is with the sewage discharge of the statist socialists who have been polluting the political waters of this country for a generation.

They have pumped so much of it out that many, even some who call themselves 'conservative', think they are drinking from the cool clear waters of a mountain stream.
