A split base is deadly for either party. Nader hurt Gore, probably costing him the election. In the tight races we've seen a 1% insurgency is all it takes to put you in the loser column.
The Republicans should be scared, very scared, of this issue if it pisses off the base. Tom Trancredo might not have a shot at being the Republican nominee for President, but he holds that nominees fate in his hands. (I think he's starting to know it too.)
Please re-read the post. I didn't say LMAO, the other person did.

The moderate and liberal Republicans need to realize they can splinter the party over this and vote accordingly.
