Number of Republicans in US hits new low

This backs up something I've been feeling in my gut for a while - that the only remaining people who call themselves Republicans are the Terri Schiavo Republicans, the loony right-wing fringe. That's why surveys keep showing that "Republicans" continue to support Bush on Iraq. Yeah, they sure do. All 5 of them. Normal Republicans are leaving the party. And their defections leave the party "strong" in surveys only because the remaining Republicans, all 30% of them, are the wackjobs.
