I don't realy think that you can quantify "passion." Pronouncements like that are doomed to fall under the category of intrinsically subjective. As to whether or not "liberals" can ever compete with social conservatives, I think that any student of history will tell you that such things are cyclical. As Arhtur Schlessinger pointed out, "there is a pendulum..."
Here's a question...are the fiscal conservatives on this board ever afraid of where the extreme social conservatives are taking the Republican party? Do you bristle at the prospect of more leaders like Oklahoma's Coburn?
