the majority of the GOP isn’t actually conservative but a mix

But of course.

On a conservatism scale where John Q. Freeper is a 10 and Obama is (of course) Zero, the typical Republican voter is probably a 6-7.

Freepers who spend all their time over in "10-land" seem to forget about this, with the result being that they are shocked right out of their socks every time a comparatively moderate GOP candidate (Mitt this year) shows strength.

That is the message of my tagline.

That's the way I see it too.

You are correct. I seem to think I say this about every election cycle on here too since FR does tend to be a bit of an echo chamber and I know that’s putting it mildly.

I think the day FR as a site realizes that the majority of the US isn’t as conservative as the website is the day I really do believe FR becomes more effective in getting the message out to people.
