That's some fringe!

[The Magistrate]

1. Exactly, Ma'am: Half The Party Are Lunatic Racists

They are not a 'fringe' of the Republican party, they are its mainstream voting strength.

[lumpy]

2. After all they backed Geo. E Bush. Best proof that Pubs are

money grubbing conscienceless loonies.

[emulatorloo]

3. don't forget the 22% that "aren't sure" So we are talking a 70% "fringe"

4. I agree, and the Sarah Palin birthers are the lunatic fringe of our party.

5. Oh, no, the lunatic fringe of our Party agrees with Palin

and join her in opposing the civil rights of others to serve their delusions that some people are special and Sanctified while others are unworthy of basic rights due to myth and fantasy. That is the lunatic fringe of the DNC. Standing with Palin in a prayerful frenzy against teh gay.

6. The fact that they would risk having Palin as president was proof enough for me.

An old fart for president and an airhead who doesn't know simple geography as his sidekick...THAT'S what they choose. That's what they would have lead this country. Still find it hard to fathom. The birther thing is a mere side effect of the general insanity of these people.

8. I agree. I lost all respect for John McCain when he chose her.

[Avant Guardian]

7. The tea partiers are the lunatic fringe of the right

The gun nuts are the lunatic fringe of the right
The religious right are the lunatic fringe of the right
The abortion kooks are the lunatic fringe of the right
The tax cutters are the lunatic fringe of the right
...

9. The GOP has a lunatic core and a reasoning fringe.
