I don't mind somebody being twenty degrees to the left of me politically; it's the gangsterism I have a hard time with.
Swolf,
Here you stand in your Crusader outfit, complete with sword and cross and claim to be a member of a "centrist party."
You're makin me laugh.
In most gatherings of republicans, I'd be towards the left end of the spectrum. For instance, I do not believe in right-to-life(TM), and I do not own a van or SUV. Real conservatives are totally pissed at the Bush administration right now for several reasons, including control of the non-border with Mexico, spending issues, failure to prosecute the Clintons and various clintonistas... you name it.
George Bush, Andy Card, Condi Rice, Carl Rove, and Collin Powell are as far to the left as you can be in this country and be legitimate or be part of a legitimate party. Anything to the left of them is basically gangsterism.
