I beg to differ, if you don't have two parties that are clearly defined, then why even bother having political parties? A Republican who is endorsed by radical groups such as Acorn, Steve, do you really want that in the Republican party? We need to weed out, man! Stop thinking big tent!
I was speaking in general terms here. This particular so-called republican was horrible and I am glad Hoffman forced the issue. However, is this going to embolden Club for Growth type organizations to push out even reasonable moderates?
I don't mean to offend you because I know you are moderate, but I'd rather have a smaller party of conservatives than a large party of moderates if I had my choice. But I think you may think the conservative numbers are smaller than they actually are.
You don't have to worry about offending me! =)
I'd be curious to see some polling as to how many true conservatives there are. Maybe you are right and there are more out there than I suspect. I'll try to track own some data on that front.
I'm just going by the fact that Beck and Limbaugh have good ratings, not scientific data, just my observations.
Got saw this link at another blog:

Beth-
I saw this one too. The problem with that survey is that they lump "very conservative" and "conservative" together. I think under that rubric I would be conservative and you would probably be very conservative.
Additionally it includes conservative democrats...what exactly would the definition of a conservative democrat be?
In terms of building a national party that can get things done...or stop things from being done, we need to know where are true strength lies.
Isn't your comment the reason why we should get rid of political parties?
