You wrote the above. And I stand by it. It's as clear as it can be. I differentiate between "the whole party" and the "base." Have not applied that characterization to the former. But for the predominance of the latter, I would likely be among the former. It would make no sense for me to tar them with the same brush. I was pointing out your strawman. I can't identify what you reference. Your posts are often merely blind criticism of moderate stances and partisan belittlement of conservatism. Huh? I haven't criticized anything moderate, I don't think. I will criticize moderation achieved through compromise on system design because it's a lose/lose. But I have nothing against moderation and seriously doubt you can find instances of my coming down on it. As for belittling conservatism, I have definitely been known to belittle social conservatism. Relished it, even. Never fiscal or constitutional conservatism, though. You are applying too broad a brush there. Good luck with that. I'm a whole lot "luckier" than the R base. <g>
