17. Well, not quite get rid of.
Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 03:32 AM by V. Kid
But I'd say there's sort of somthing too this. Look at what happened to the Republicans after they decided to go hard-right in 1964, sure they lost that election...but the penglum has swung in their favour ever since and the hard-right in the Republican party has become mainstream within that party, and mainstream in the sense that they're able to win elections from that position. As such progressive Democrats need to marginalize those groups you speak of. And Republican succeses haven't been limited to them just winning office, but with regards to hard-right Republicans getting their agenda inacted...which is the entire point of politics.
