re: #305 Charles

But the DNC did reject the fringe left — that’s what led to these statements from groups like MoveOn.org that the Democratic Party “owed” them something. They were pushed out of the mainstream very deliberately, and I believe that’s when things started to turn around for the Dems.

As for the center right rejecting the kooks and racists — I’d like to believe that will happen, but there’s almost no sign of it right now. The Values Voter Summit is a perfect example — it’s run by an extreme right religious fanatic with ties to white supremacists like David Duke, yet this year their attendance was higher than ever.

From my perspective, it looks like the kooks and fanatics are taking over the GOP completely.

Charles, they put Truther Michael Moore in the seat of honor, etc.

I don’t recall seeing a purge anywhere similar to what you are trying do accomplish.
