The other side of the "Its not doing your party or the country any good to become radical. That will only ensure more years of democrats rule." is that many dems have been radical for decades. They still get power. Sometimes it is the squeaky wheel that gets to most attention. Conservatives have sat back quietly for many years while media boosts up the agenda of the left and 'vets' the right. Or puts down the money spent on clothing for a candidate and then fawns over Michelle's fashions at the G20 without mentioning the cost. Just one example. So maybe some radical attitudes are necessary. Just a thought. Not saying it is true but another side of the coin.
