If they prevail, they are in the mainstream. Both the Democratic Party and the Republican party are mainstream parties. You don't have to have a mjaority to be in the mainstream you just can't be out there on the edge with a tiny minority. The public perception is that Reagan is much more a centrist conservative than Bush Sr I have never once before this heard or read anyone say since the end of Bush Sr. term that he was more conservative then Reagan. I haven't even seen an indirect quote where someone said that they know someone else who is of that opinion. ITs not the general public perception even if it is yours. And whatever the perception is if you look at the issues one by one you'll find Reagan either at the same point of Bush or to the right on him on every major issue and many minor ones. Bush Sr. lost the election not because he didn't cut taxes but because he screwed up the economy. He lost for four reasons, he didn't keep his promise, he raised taxes alienating his base and he hurt the economy, all three of those however are related to the tax raise. The fourth reason is that he was unlucky enough to have a realtivily normal cyclical downturn come at the end of his term. He hurt the economy, mostly with his tax increase but the economy would have been soft anyway. The facts are that a strong majority of journalists voted for Clinton as opposed to 43% of the overall population. Links please. I posted them here before, and D Ray posted a different one recently. Polling data show that a majority of the country supports ending affirmitive action and outlawing partial birth abortion, but this is rarely reported and the ideas are more often bashed then supported by the main stream media. Links please. PM me the request and I'll get to it later. Actually I might just PM myself the link to your post and continue my response later. I want to go home now... Tim
