It is partly because they got so extreme that even their own party started to fracture away and partly it is because we have worked very hard for this. For my part I have to say we have done very well on equality work, very well and many times it is because of the moderate Republicans. It looks like we got rid of one Democrat that constantly voted very RW, consulted with his priest before each vote

. We still have a long way to go. You are exactly right, we have seen how bad it can get and frankly most Republican citizens here recognize that it is not a good thing to be so extreme.
