C-SPAN caller just now identified himself as a

[Skidmore]

"conservative", not a "Republican"--then proceeded to further define himself as really rightwing and in line with the far right Christian wing of the party. Wonder if we'll hear more of this.

1. but he will vote Republican

[MADem]

2. Because, so far, he has nowhere else to go

Maybe some Talibornagain will run on a fringe party ticket, and give him somewhere to go!!!!!

3. Extremists

Republican or conservative is irrelevant. It's extremist views and the apparently elected senators and congressman who espouse them and manipulate them that threaten our republic. The dems used their good will to allow a pass on the extemist judicial nominations of Owen, Brown and Pryor. But never again.

That's our talking point: Brown, Owen and Pryor's "extraordinary circumstances" ( ie, thgeir extremist points of view and judicial activism) were given a pass by the good will of the democratic senators. But never again.

There are and will be many more extraordinary circumstances caused by the constitution-in-exile crowd in their version of "democracy".

4. We need to get over our distaste about labeling them as they do us

they are EXTREME,and I would go so far as to say UnAmerican - who probably haven't read the Constitution or a history book regarding the founding of this country.

They ARE the Republican Party now. Anyone who votes Repug gets my disdain because they are now associated with this group

5. I hope we hear more and more and more of it, for the same reason I hate

When Democrats defect and go Green, removing them from the Democratic voting bloc.

The more the extreme Right wing is disaffected by the GOP, the better.

Bring it on - don't misunderestimate the power of the split vote!
