It would be good to see more moderate conservatives reemerge. Then we could have a decent conversation without all the silliness (Example: RWNJ#1-Obama is the antichrist!!!, RWNJ#2-No way, he is Adolf Hitler!!!).
quoted for irony.

The argument stands. Thread after thread about how Christie was a right-wing idealogue who was falling fast in the polls.

Now at 74%.

However, liberals control Media and the Youth Culture, which is what's really killing them.

People want to fit in, they follow what they feel is acceptable.

Conservatives, at least the far right are a dying breed... no more unity among them. Social pressures are forcing them to change.
Liberals have always controlled the youth via education.

That's why we must eliminate public education and the public educators! Then people will learn to love right wing ideology again!

The USA as a whole is losing some of the elements of the extreme right and tea party types, but I don't see it happening here on CD. There are just as many rude, over the top, twisted, and grossly exaggerated rightwing comments as ever ...... maybe more. We've even got the revolutionary types now - remember all the praise for Dorner and the vaguely expressed wishes that more violence would happen?

The real dead enders, (birthers, Obama conspiracists, crusty old farts accusing liberals of being "communists") are on the borderline of being considered outcasts by what's left of mainstream conservatives. This just goes beyond the last election. I think time has finally caught up with this backwards ideology.
Perhaps they got tired of debating with pissants.

I am pretty sure the Dorner worshippers were more of a left wing bunch of fools than anything else.
