re: #184 SixDegrees

Someone needs to drive home the message that the so-called “base” cannot hold the rational majority hostage any longer. It is they who need the vote of the rest of the GOP if they don’t want to be marginalized; the rest of the GOP doesn’t need to tolerate their extremist ultimatums and their desire to dominate the federal agenda with creationist, anti-abortion, and anti-gay-marriage bullshit (which, despite all the clamoring about states’ rights, always seem to pop up at the federal level) at the expense of sensible foreign policy and economic initiatives.

Until this happens, prepare for many years of Obama.
