What I said was, as this was a much smaller rally, it has a far higher nut-to-sane person ratio.

Im just curious how you know this. Did you do a headcount of the people there and ask them if they are crazy or not? then do the same at any liberal based rally? Then compare?

that doesn't matter.

by the way, looks like Fov and ABC were right, considering even the Right Wing Network (Fox News) recently talking about the Teap Party said 75,000 people

How many of your friends are republicans? How many republicans have you sat down and interviewed?

Where do you get your news? You are reading out of Hawgballs play book and it is no more effective when you spit it.

Fove, Consultant lived the past decade with his eyes closed apparently..... My playbook of stating facts doesn't work so well with those that refuse to let facts get in the way of their opinion. He somehow forgets about the party of Terri Schiavo intervention, Tom Delay and Bill "Nuclear Option" Frist.

So we're clear - you also think that all republicans represent a "monolithic block of thought"?

I just want to know for sure whether or not I can completely ignore everything you post for the rest of my life or whether you recognize that there IS, in fact, a diversity of opinion on the more conservative side of the aisle.

You are not clear, and you ought to re-read your own words. So I will highlight them for you.......

The Republican party is, indeed, MORE of a "monolithic block of thought" than the Democrats. As it was pointed twice already in this thread, and countless times in other threads, the Republican Party for the past two decades voted more along Party lines than Democrats. You cannot refute that. But to give it some more meaning, please tell me the equivalent of a "Blue Dog Democrat" in the Republican Party. Most of the moderates have been chased out of your party quite a while ago, and a majority of the Libertarian bent has left or are soon to leave. That leaves a majority of whack job jesus freaks, and a smattering of fiscal conservatives.

Thanks Phaedro

Hawg, not that I disagree with you. But can you find any statistics backing up your statement that Republicans have voted more along party lines in recent years? Thanks.

Also, thanks for getting those links for me Fov. Based off those pages it does seem that there is significant health care industry backing to some of these protests. Its not really that surprising really, politics is politics.
