re: #221 SixDegrees

They’re rapidly expanding. Nearly all of the newly-elected Democrats in the last two national elections have won by running on more Conservative platforms than their Republican opponents, or by promising to deliver Conservative results that their opponents had failed to uphold. There is the potential for a schism in the party - one that the GOP could be exploiting, if it had any leadership - but at least for the moment such views are attracting Conservatives who feel disenfranchised by the GOP, especially those who don’t like the specter of state-sponsored religion being emplaced, which is what the Fundies seem to be aiming for.

You mean lamebrains like Heath Shuler?
