Nixon along with many others saw this group as being overshadowed by the more vocal minority.

    I agree with Tricky D!ck.

    There you go again. Denial of the 67% of Americans WHO ARE speaking up. Who ARE becoming more and more active in the public discourse (see: Town Hall Meetings, Tea Parties, etc.) and who are AFRAID of what Obama is trying to shove down their throats.

    But again, please keep going on as you are... you are just proving my point. The longer you continue on this path, the easier it will be for the Republicans to take over the Congress in 2010 and the White House in 2012.

    The 'diverse' crowd has their own gatherings. How about a sample?

    Seems to me it's more like the silent majority finding it's voice.
