Uhm, FoF-type groups ARE the Party and the Party is them. They took over the Party in as smooth a movement as would have made Josef Stalin proud. Like Stalin, they seek to use the police power of the State and its prosecution of "non-believers" to force everyone to conform to their own beliefs

Like the Taliban, they want an absolute theocracy, in the name of their Diety, as they interpret His Will.

There is a world of difference between a Party of George H Bush and the Party of George W Bush/Dick Cheney.

FoF-type groups are, in a word, Un-American and I hope that moderate Republicans and Goldwater conservatives can oust their influence.

The FoF types gain their influence because they are fully engaged more often than not in the primary elections. Thus gaining advantage in safe districts then using that leverage in presuring candidates in those and other General elections.

The FoF types are no more the party than any well organized group for the Dems. The Dems have the advantage of being pragmatic enough to throw people under the bus as needed.

Too many Republicans get what they deserve due to their limited participation in the process.
