I have seen the future and in it the Republicans are moderate middle. About 60% of voters identify themselves as "conservative." Most of what passes for "independent" seems to be the radical middle. They are not interested in either making the government larger or social engineering. In regard to the media, there is no MSM in Mainstream Media. It is, in fact, MM. The mainstream media is the one that is two and three times more popular, as is FOX NEWS. Therefore, the only thing MSM can be is Marginalised Socialist Media. Conservatives are not people who desire turning the US into a totalitarian government. They are insterested in having more democratic decision making. That involves listening to and voting with your consitutuents. They are definitely not interested in treating our national credit like a bottomless credit card by poverty pimps. http://theprogressivecapitalist.blogspot.com/

Ma'am;... I think it wrong to suggest that republican leadership is responsible for the right radicalization of the republican party... Parties in or out of power have to lean to the center, and govern from the center... If you are on the outs, the center is the group you must gain to win electiions...It is idealism alone that makes any candidate think they will lead the people anywhere that the people do not want to go...In New York state, Dede Scozzofava was trying to govern in the best interest of a diverse community... The right republicans joined up against her to lose her, and lose the party the whole district...That is the power of a small group working in concert, that great things are possible while greater failures are likely ... This is not Nazi Germany where a minority party could end up with the whole shooting match, but the right republicans seem like Nasis... They seem to be saying: walk this way, do as you are told, or get in the gas chamber... America is becoming more of what the South has always been: A place where the vote is not used for any particular purpose, but as an expression of hate... We now vote against candidates... I trust we will vote against loyalty oaths...I trust we will vote against idealistc government that is incapable of managing practical problems... I trust we will not elect ideologues who will use their office as a pulpet to abuse and attack many of those who they should defend...We are a divided society... We were born out of division, and the parties have added to that division... We could live with division, but having so much less to share, and so much less in common, some of us have decided to play winner take all...I want to respect the republicans for running the country into a ditch in pursuit of their ideals... Like most of us, they cannot rationally judge their ideals, or see when they go too far overboard...The voters of New York have tried to hand the right radicals a lesson...Let us see if they can take it to heart, and make the moral argument before trying to steal a seat...Isn't is proper to gain the minds of all the people before trying to lead them???... There are limits to majority rule... No majority has ever been known to delgate the smallest portion of intelligence of insight to their leaders...The best we can hope, is that the majorty represents the general consensus of opinion... The right republicans wish to gain power while cursing the consensus of opinion ...I expect them to fail, and hope they fail because they deserve to fail...Thanks....Sweeney

It is my opinion that those elitists in both parties who neglect to relate to their constituents shall be cast aside. The American people are simply tired of being told what to do and being ignored when they question the teller.
