Because depending upon whose estimates you believe, a minimum of 30 to 40 percent of the Republican Party is composed of religious conservatives. Many conservatives are already suspicious of the party's leadership for not dismantling the Internal Revenue Service and for staying in the United Nations.

Ah, and the "big lie" surfaces again.

The 10% of GOP voters which are persistently threatening to bolt for the whackjobism of the Constimatooshin or Libertarian Parties if the other 90% don't do what they say are not the "base".

What they are is noisy far and beyond their actual numbers, radicalized, and are all too frequently coddled at the expense of good common sense.

What they are is, like this author, sniveling weasels, and the GOP is well to be rid of them.

Everytime I hear the word "base", I think of a pyramid. As best as I can recall, the base of a pyramid is not the point, but the broadest part of it.

The base of any party is the majority of its voters, not the minority. And most certainly, it's never that segment willing to abandon the party at the drop of a hat over any and all real or imagined complaints.

If you elephants value the voters who put you where you are today – not to mention the future of your party – you had better get to Arnold fast and tell him it is he who needs to drop out, not Tom McClintock.

Obviously this retard hasn't noticed that the single issue hard right in California has indeed put the Republicans where they are today...,out of office.

You two should get a room, and get something straight between you.
Either the single issue hard right are to blame, or those wackjobian Constimatooshalibertarians..

Please. -- Try to resolve your own delusions before dumping unto your betters.
