re: #611 Reginald Perrin

I ask this sincerely, why can’t the sane mainstream conservatives call out the radical lunatic fringe? It would carry a lot more weight in the mainstream media if it came from conservatives, rather than from progressives.

Because the few that try get chased out of the party; Crist, or take a job overseas; Hunt. Or they just change to fit the program; McCain.
If they stray off the reservation, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Palin and the other king makers will destroy them.
