On C-Span looks like a "new" conservative movement is being born

I see this as a positive. Although I disagree with much of their stance, they are lashing out at the Bush Neo-Con way and are looking to bring power back to more old school style conservatism.

You know what as I said I disagree with these people on alot of things but I'd much rather be forced to compromise with them than the bush neo-cons. I really believe that if these types of conservatives were in power, sure we'd find lots to complain about, but we wouldn't be in Iraq and we wouldn't have a debt as far as the eye can see...

1. I hope that this means...

I hope that this means the theocracy movement collapses!

2. Or that they do like they say they want to and create their own party.

Then, like the Greens, they can siphon away the votes of the main party, not winning any seats nohow.

6. Which Means That The Republicans Are Done

Their 'success' for the last 20 years has been based on a marriage of convenience between the social and economic conservatives.

If they alienate even 25% of the fundy base, the landscape changes. In fact, I think we just saw what that landscape looks like.

3. That's actually an old movment known as backpedaling.

4. That's the difference -- you can negotiate with a conservative, but not with a neocon.

Two very different ideologies.

5. that's the point right there it becomes Cards vs Cubs instead of Yanks VS Red Sox

7. You're not going to negotiate with Viguerie-Rove's Mentor

Or Bozell or Wendy Wright or Bossie. They're all Rightwing Zealots, they are more extreme than the republicans!

8. If they hurry maybe we can crush that too before the weeks over. n/t
