re: #113 Dark_Falcon

That wouldn’t sell as well and it would risk highlighting to the viewing public that they ultimately are partially to blame for the situation. If party bases were less dogmatic, politicians would have to watch every word, fearful of accusations of heresy.

As long as talk radio hosts hold the power to destroy those they deem not pure enough, you’re going to have a tough time changing what the base demands of its candidates.

I’ve lost track of how many Republicans have been challenged by other, “purer” Republicans, all with the support of talk radio/RW blogs.

I’m sorry to see this happening. I believe the country needs two sane parties willing to work together to solve the country’s problems. That’s impossible with the current makeup of the GOP.
