101. So now we're pretending that majorities of Americans haven't identified as conservative
for the last 50 years or so? Anything else you want to pull out of your hat?

And it's almost funny how you just throw out a link to Pew Research. Not a link that supports your view. Not a link to a direct poll that refutes my point. Just a generic link to Pew.

In the meantime, not that's it's necessary to anyone who knows anything, but I will link to polls, articles, actual data that prove my point. But I have a feeling that you are a card carrying member of this new breed of "liberal" that don't believe in polls, particularly polls that disprove your beliefs.

2007 - 'Twice as Many Americans Conservative as Liberal' http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/twice_as_many_americans_conservative_over_liberal/
2008 - 'Sixty percent of Americans considered themselves conservative.' http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/08/the_biggest_missing_story_in_p.html
2009 - 'Conservatives" Are Single-Largest Ideological Group' http://www.gallup.com/poll/120857/conservatives-single-largest-ideological-group.aspx
'Conservatives Maintain Edge as Top Ideological Group' http://www.gallup.com/poll/123854/conservatives-maintain-edge-top-ideological-group.aspx
2010 - 'In 2010, Conservatives Still Outnumber Moderates, Liberals' http://www.gallup.com/poll/141032/2010-conservatives-outnumber-moderates-liberals.aspx
2011 - 'More People Consider Themselves Conservative Today Than at Any Time Since 1994' http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/08/more-people-consider-themselves-conservative-today-than-at-any-time-since-1994/

So, you claim that organized Labor, environmentalists, GLBT equality activists, teachers, peace activists, opponents of the Patriot Act and the wars, of torture anmd detendtion and the other groups criticizing the administration are people with "beliefs (that) are the rantings of the fringe and nothing else?"

William, err.. Claudia, this type of argument may win you a ton of friends at FringeRUs.com, but this argument is the height of dishonesty and desperation. Thinking these things are not the fringe and I have never suggested that they were, no matter how desperately you try to pretend that I did. But thinking that putting the Repubs back in the White House will bring about some new era of Democratic Unity -- until another Democrat is actually in charge and able to, you know, implement these very policies that you and your ilk are content to merely whine about for the next 16 millenia -- is.
