The moderates have already turned their guns on the tea party and conservatives in general.
Sure the tea party backed candidates lost some races but we also won some. Tea party backed Kerry Bentivolio won the moderate 11th district seat in Michigan by a wide margin. Michele Bachmann held her seat.
As for the Akin and Mourdock seats, sure they screwed up but the so called “moderates” did all they could to keep them wounded. Even as recently as yesterday they were gleefully reminding people of their mistakes. I have little doubt that many of them actively voted for the democrats in those races because proving themselves right is more important than doing the right thing.
My stance on moderates remains the same. They’re nothing but lying, manipulative, bottom feeding, scum. The GOP has been moderated into a coma and they need to hike up their big girl panties and go moderate the party that actually needs it.
We are sadly much more closer to a second American civil war. Count on it to happen down the road.
