Perhaps such significant majorities of Americans agree with
conservatives because conservative ideas are so far Out Of The
Mainstream?

Okay, now you're hallucinating.

No wonder public opinion polls show Bush can garner only a razor-thin margin
over any generic Democrat.

*Significant* majority? You're fooling yourself.

Being as we're unfamiliar with "sarcasm," I will explain the above
remark:

Democrats, and their lefty-media allies, pathologically describe
conservative ideas (and people) as "out of the mainstream," despite the
fact that they define "the mainstream" as the sociopolitical outlook of
a San Francisco Democrat. For example, the *real* American mainstream
is 60% *against* gay marriage[1] - yet a conservative who opposes this
decidedly *minority* pro-gay-marriage viewpoint is an "extremist"
according to Tom Daschle and the knee-jerkers in the national media.

The point is that even if conservatives hold only your "razor-thin
margin" on Issue X, they cannot be called "out of the mainstream."
Either there *is* no mainstream, or the conservatives are swimming down
the center of it.

Thanks for proving the point.

[1] I happen to support gay marriage, but no matter.

"The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon
the buttock of a rather good country. Seventy years ago it
opposed mobilisation against Adolf Hitler and worshipped
the other genocide, Josef Stalin. It has marched for Mao,
Ho Chi Minh, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov. It has
slobbered over Ceausescu and Mugabe. It has demonstrated
against everything and everyone American for a century.
Broadly speaking, it hates [America] first, [Britain] second."
