Erick Erickson... conceded that progressives currently enjoy an advantage over conservatives online—though he attributed it to an asymmetry in free time, since conservatives "have families because we don't abort our kids, and we have jobs because we believe in capitalism."

Do you really think the Democrats are any different. The liberal left whack jobs that now control the DCCC shows that polarization goes both ways.Jason The broadened the question a bit for me by separating the base from the leadership:
This difference is the Republican BASE is polarized (i.e. there is no longer a republican base)
That's why we'll be winning the elections, while the Republicans flounder like 13 year olds going through a puberty induced identity crisis.

"Ron Paul is one angry Republican. Get him started on America's skyrocketing debt, illegal immigration, secret wiretapping or border security and he wags his finger, his voice rising as the words come out in furious bursts."Well, all of those things make me angry, but whenever I've seen Ron Paul, he seems like a well-tempered, reasonable, articulate man. He seems like a statesman. In fact, it is the rest of that sad Republican crew of Presidential hopefuls who consistently stink of mock outrage and righteous indignation and "Look at how war-hungry a Jesus-Loving, Uzi-Packing Bad Ass I am???".
Ron Paul likes to make one thing perfectly clear: he is a Republican.He does? You'd think him showing up at the Republican debates would have cleared that up. And frankly, outside of the Republican debates, where they're all trying to out-crazy each other to appeal to their chicken-killer religious-nut-job base, I don't see a whole lot of Republicans wearing their Republicanism proudly at all.
Yes, he abandoned the Republican Party and ran as the Presidential Candidate of the Libertarian Party twenty years ago in 1988, but who hasn't had a few youthful transgressions? He quickly saw the folly of 3rd party politics and returned to the party nurtured by the spirit of Ronald Reagan and Thomas Jefferson.No subject is seemingly unrelated enough that a Republican can't somehow invoke the exploited corpse of former President Ronald Reagan. *suppresses gag reflex*
Of course Ron Paul is an angry Republican. The Republican Party hasn't left him. The Republican Party has turned left ... and Ron Paul doesn't like it.*sigh* There it is. One more Republican who is literally incapable of accepting responsibility for the failings of their party. The Republicans didn't turn left, they turned corrupt. It has never been a Democratic principle to endow the Executive with plenary, unchecked, interminable "wartime" powers. It has never been a Democratic principle to suspend Habeas Corpus in direct and obvious violation of clearly state language in the Constitution of the United States of America. Is has not been a principle of Democrats to established massive programs approving warrantless domestic surveillance, including who knows what else. Under the last Democratic administration, we lowered the national debt and established a surplus.
Dear Republican in Denial,DS
Have you considered the possibility that Republican corruption, betrayal of the Constitution and astounding incompetence in managing civil and military affairs is their failure alone?
The elaborate acrobatics weaving dubious, barely plausible explanations which blame others for their mistakes are increasingly nauseating, pathetic, and ineffective.
Republicans still seem utterly incapable of taking responsibility for their moral failures and shocking incompetence, both home and abroad. They, and their die-hard supporters, still - still cannot help but instinctively point the finger at the Democrats, the secularists, immigrants and of course, the favorite and most often used Republican bogyman, the mythical "liberal media." Booga booga!
When I saw Ron Paul in the Republican debates, he struck me by his honesty, sincerity, and integrity.
It was these things which separated him from the other Republican candidates, and sadly, most of the Democratic candidates as well.
You think it's good for the Republicans that people are registering Republican to vote for Ron Paul?
Unless you think they're all inexplicably straight-party-ticket-voting types, who will stay loyal to the Republican party even without Ron Paul on the ticket, I wouldn't bank on it. Ron Paul is an anomaly within the Republican party, not a representative attraction.
In fact, the people who registered Republican to vote for Ron Paul will likely further induce the confusion, resentment and disarray which is already infecting the base of the Republican party.
People like Ron Paul invoke enthusiasm and loyalty because he is a man of integrity, not because he is a Republican. In fact, he enjoys support despite his association with the Republican party.
During the last seven years, the Republican "brand" has been sullied by the ceaseless parade of scandal and corruption wreaking of hypocrisy and astonishing deceit. Throw in their general incompetence and being Republican isn't something too many are proud of these days.
Ironically, it is his integrity which virtually ensures he will not be chosen as the candidate of the Republican party.
Until Republicans truly return to the principles they once claimed, and elect politicians with the integrity to sustain them, they will continue to rely upon deceit and other slanderous propaganda for their political victories.

"Nevertheless," I whispered crossly-..but I couldn't go on, to conscious all at once of my whispering, my eternal posturing, always transforming the world with words, changing nothing ..... Spinning a web of words, pale walls of dreams, between myself and all I see."
