If you keep the party going, how come there aren't more of you? Where is that State legislature composed of "true" conservatives that will galvanize so many of you to take it national? Your whole post was an endorsement of staying on the fringe, yet you can't see the irony in it.Another classic sign of a fringe dweller;plus the inevitable "not a dime's worth of difference between the Republicans and Democrats" mantra which is trotted out ad nauseum to fortify your delusions.Yeah, that's not fringe thinking, is it?

Oh, and the cherry on top is the long slide that will eventually, sorta, it will, we hope, kinda mean the Republicans go like the Whigs.The fringe have been waiting for this longer than Godot.Keep waiting.

Careful, every political movement worth noting throughout history was instigated by an element that can be described as "fringe".

If you can honestly point to me a difference that I can stand on, believe in, just within the campaign here in NC between Elizabeth Dole and Erskine Bowles, I would consider your argument. However they are both the same shade. Both talking about national healthcare, both for tariffs, both at some level pro-choice, both anti-gun, and both big government. Yet the true conservatives are called 'fringe' because they believe in the Constitution and hold mainly conservative views. They also won't be able to pick up the vote after the RNC (which made the choice sometime back in Feb. and we haven't even had our primaries yet!!) has dumped every bit of money behind Giddy because of her name recognition.

This is just one example but it is becoming more prevalent in the political world
