That'd be like me quoting a democrat saying too many people on an island can cause it to capsize means all democrats believe that. Or because a republican says a woman's body can reject rape means all republicans believe it to be so. Anthony Weiner was a prominent democrat, do you believe everything he says? What about Carlos Danger?

Anywho, good luck with that perspective.
Yeah, same to you. Good luck with characterizing all the mainstream Republicans who did well in the nomination process as "the extremists." Although, that is correct, I suppose, in the sense that Republicans are more extremist than ever. Like I said, those are your party's prominent leaders. And crazy they are, indeed.

Funny, I don't remember Weiner being a major contender for a Democratic national primary, unlike 90% of the Republican candidates, which are (and remain) totally batshit insane, and remain GOP governors and senators. And it's not just them--They weren't outliers. They supported the policies that the entire party is working towards. And Inhofe is not an ostracized pariah of the GOP--he's a celebrated, tenured figurehead of the party that's been serving in both the Senate and House for the GOP since the 1980's.

Your entire "argument" has consisted of "Nuh uh, what you're describing would be extremist! Therefore, you must be incorrect, and an extremist yourself!" Yeah, no. Your party is composed almost entirely of climate-change deniers, almost all of whom claimed in the last election that global warming is "a hoax," and there readily available quotes of each candidate (and dozens of GOP lawmakers) saying precisely that.

Don't like your party? Again, your problem is with your party. Not some stranger on an Internet forum.

Bachmann: " ... carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t one such study because carbon dioxide is not a harmful gas, it is a harmless gas." "[Global warming is] “voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax."
Santorum: "Who is he [Gingrich] or who's Governor Romney to be able to go after President Obama? I've never supported even the hoax of global warming."
Perry: "A substantial number of scientists [have] manipulated data to keep the money rolling in." "I do believe the issue of global warming has been politicized." "Yes, our climate has changed. It has been changing ever since the Earth was formed. But I do not buy into a group of scientists who have, in some cases, have been found to be manipulating data."
Trump: This very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit has got to stop. Our planet is freezing, record low temps,and our GW scientists are stuck in ice
Cain: "Manmade global warming is poppycock." "Look, if people look at the real data, the climate had varied ever since we’ve known that the planet is here."
Romney: "My view is that we don't know what's causing climate change on this planet." Of course, in true Romney fashion, he flip-flopped on climate change several times.

Want to keep going? Because there are clips of almost every major GOP player saying equally ignorant horseshit. These aren't "Anthony Wieners of the Republican party," your delusional and ignorant mischaracterization aside.
