If they won't condemn the extremists and the 9/11 attacks in an unqualified manner, the 'rats can have them. These people would fit in well with the other America-haters on the left.
I, for one, am damn sick and tired of these so-called "moderates" who wag their fingers at the islamofascists -- and then follow up right away with how 9/11 was somehow our fault, either for not hating Israel and/or being successful and non-muslim.
The hamas/hezbollah/palestinian islamic jihad and their supporters crowd with whom Norquist hangs out are NOT the kind I want in this party. If need be, I'll still vote for Bush, but my registration and dollars will move to the Conservative Party.
Then how come "George W. Bush reached out in the 2000 election and won more than 70 percent of the Muslim vote?"
