cosmicforce, It does follow, just a different path. Not worth explaining as you indirectly addressed my question. What you are objecting to is the extreme. I can understand this. Maybe this is why I asked you the questions about the dogs and boxes. This is what I mean. It is perfectly fine, and probably a good thing, to be "extreme". Anything worth supporting is worth supporting well. Your definition of extreme Republicans may include many, many people who I would not consider Republicans, or worthy of my friendship or support. To be an extreme Republican means to really believe in what being a Republican is all about. It is a grand and noble thing. To think that the human spirit is great enough to overcome all those that wish to control and limit it. As for the groups that I might assume fit into your description of extreme, well they have no place in this definition of an extreme Republican. People like McVey are not Republicans, and his kind are only on the fringe of a system that has no where else to place them. So its really a matter of seeing the parts before the whole, and to recognize that one or two Dobermans (that no one in the vast majority supports) do not represent the views of Sheepdogs, Wheatens, and Beagles that make up the other 98. If I thought that the core of the RWE thread represented any of the fringe activities then I would not be a member. I have made an effort to understand the many parts of the Democratic party. I see a different kind of party, fragmented at best. How many of your union members support gay rights? As for where you fit, knowing your distaste for the "E" in each, I would expect that we share more in common that the surface would indicate. Not because I would change my views, but the overlap on certain issues might surprise you. There are fundamental differences that cannot be compromised. Anything worth having is worth a price, correct? HAGO TH
