Reply #33: Don't think these extremists are growing in number. [View All]

They are a small group that the Reagan Coalition co-opted to make the republicans have enough numbers to be challenge the democrats. Both the number of political republicans and these fundies are shrinking. And they need each other. It was only a matter of time till one of the fundies in that coalition got into a position of power, even though the political republicans do not really agree with their issues. The political republicans are the big business ideologues, which has been almost complete infiltrated by the neocons. But the neocons are not the complete spectrum for political republicans, which is why more and more people are leaving that party. The republican party is far far right now. The democratic party has moved to the center. The far left is not well represented in our 2 party system. Strange that the neocons call our centrist candidates and party leftist, many true leftist think they are too centrist but better than the alternative. True leftist don't even get a mention in the news. Imagine a world where Kucinich would have an equal chance.
