Nice try. My lack of faith in the GOP at the national level is partially
based upon its adherence to "social conservatism" and its dependence upon
evangelicals. There are innumerable other factors about the "modern" GOP
that are turn offs for me, and some of those are wrapped up in what you
are calling "Republican ideals." These include the destruction of
individual liberties the last eight years, the intrusion into privacy, the
opposition to abortion, the opposition to science, the opposition to birth
control, the excesses of corporations, wall street, insurance companies,
overly aggressive foreign policies, overspending on the military, ignoring
our crumbling infrastructure, and so on and so forth, ad nauseum.


Thanks. I thought it was good too.

Anyway, you seem to be primarily opposed to Bush and Co. and not necessarily
moderate Republicans that make the majority of the party. Good. I tend to
agree with you.

Neither party is going to have all the elements to it that 100 percent
satisfies everybody.
But, with a little bit of flexibility on your part, you could be a candidate
for conversion.


Oh yeah...the Republican governors consider Sarah Palin a leader of the
party. I would have categorized her as a national embarrassment.

Forget Sarah Palin. She's a non-event. Tell you what ... if the
Republican party nominates her for anything other than moose catcher in
2012, I'll vote a straight Democratic ticket.

Convince me that "moderates" make up the majority of the Republican Party.

Why?

You are already deeply rooted in your religion.

The real answer, of course, is that there is no proof that "moderates"
make up the majority of the GOP. In fact, if you look through the state
by state returns from the last election, you'll see the pattern emerge
of who most Republican voters are...mainly older, whiter, evangelicals.
Hardly moderates.

More racist bigoted remarks from krause. That's a doozie. I'll have to
save this comment for later.

D'oh...there have been several national surveys of those who voted last
week, and you know what? My description is spot-on. Nothing racist in my
remark. Nothing bigoted, either. Just reality.

Hey...aren't you an older, whiter, evangelical? Didn't you vote for
McCain-Palin?

Case closed.

"Whiter" than what? Try to explain that in a non racist manner.

Where are the questions asked and the answers received from the surveys?
I can take a survey and report anything I want from the "results" of
the survey. Show me the raw data.

McCain-Palin?

Nope, younger, regular white (accident of birth, didn't ask to be
white), Catholic, who didn't vote for The Obama and Biden. Biden who has
suddenly found himself out of a job for the next four years. I wonder if
they will let him use the telescopes at the naval observatory.

Case opened. Obama got 52.7% of the popular vote, McCain got 46%. You are
saying nearly 1/2 the country is older white, evangelical? Serious
delusions.

Got a cite? Since they don't keep records like that, if anything, you
are relying on exit polls from some left wing extremists.
