I don't mean abandon conservatism. But the GOP has moved way to the right in recent years, just as the Democratic Party has moved to the left. What I meant was, quit using terms like "legitimate rape," and making other stupid statements like that (as Bobby Jindal has said, more than once). Remove the opposition to "critical thinking skills" from the Texas GOP platform. I think a lot of Democrats are just as disgusted by welfare babies and those who sponge off the rest of us as you Republicans are, but they just can't vote for a Republican candidate because their views on social issues are so far to the right, where the "fringe" used to be.
