re: #237 Sharmuta

My opinion is the Goldwater conservatives would come back to the party, and we would gain membership from others who lean right but are turned off by the so-cons. I met some republicans who voted for Obama, and was specifically told it was due to creationism and anti-science.

I consider myself Independent, slightly left socially, conservative fiscally (and thus unrepresented by either party), and deeply pro science. This has shut off most Republican candidates for me for a long time. Are there any Reps with the balls and policies to buck the crippling weight of the radical right?
