this fact drives those social moderates here who hate Dixie up the wall.....always has...

But, of course, you are much too kind--as a Southern Gentleman--calling a bunch of canting bigots, "social moderates." A social moderate would not seek to change any people's culture, against their will.

I call them a lot of things, but "moderate" is not one of them.

it astounds me how most of the so called republicans up in the north east call themselves republicans.

They are socially liberal and therefore not a republican nor a conservative , infact especially a conservative.
The fact that Romney is saying he is a conservative is a prime example
