ok, I'll try to take your missive seriously.
You ask if there is any future in the GOP for the "moderates" and you write as if you are in the minority in the party.
I would argue that it is "moderate" GOPers that have gotten the party and the country into some serious straits.
It was moderate GOPers that helped shove through the "pills for Grandma" bill a couple of years back.
It was a moderate McCain that foisted "campaign finance reform" on all of us.
It is moderate GOP Senators that are trying to foist on us an immigration bill that has amnesty in it.
I think we need a lot less room for "moderate" GOPers and some kind of return to sane fiscal policy.
How's that?
"ok, I'll try to take your missive seriously. "
Thank you. I don't see why this should have been so difficult but I am duly and sincerely grateful.
"You ask if there is any future in the GOP for the "moderates" and you write as if you are in the minority in the party. "
I very much am in the minority party here. Illinois, remember?
As for the rest of your statement, I couldn't agree more about "sane fiscal policy". I am no McCain fan at this point either but I'm not sure he is a moderate. In fact I'm not at all sure what he is, except another politician.
Frankly sauropod, I think other interests were at play in the "pills for Grandma" bill. Follow the money on that one.
How do we get fiscal responsibility? No one seems to be even giving that lip service.
