'If Republicans don't rally,'' Schmidt went on,''certainly by the end of the (2000) election cycle 'conservative' will be a dirty word.'' Conservatism has become increasingly associated with a series of negative stances -- against abortion, against gun control, against environmental protections -- and with angry messengers such as two-time presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan and the Christian Coalition's Pat Robertson. Impeachment showed ''how important and powerful the religious base, the moralistic base'' of the Republican Party has become, said Allan Hoffenblum, a longtime California GOP strategist, who frets that conservatism is increasingly viewed by average voters as ''a philosophy that is rigid, exclusionary and intolerant.'' But Randy Tate, executive director of the Christian Coalition, insisted that religious activists are the ones hewing closest to the true meaning of conservative -- which he defined as ''pro-family'' -- and argued that, if anything, Republicans have hurt themselves by shying away from social issues such as school prayer and abortion. sfgate.com
