We need to remember who these supporters are. Moderate, or centrist, versus the conservatives in the GOP.

we also need to remember that neither the conservative nor the liberal bases are enough to win an election on a national scale. There has to be some moderate appeal or else you get 35% and an @$$-whuppin....

Whitman made her bones in the pro-abortion movement, heading a little outfit called (I believe) "Republicans for choice. As NJ Gov.(I recall) she declared a state day to commemorate Roe v. Wade. She, and most of her boosters are your basic East Coast Country Club Rockefeller Republicans. The fact that they call themselves
"moderates" shows how far our language has been debased, and our values corrupted.

christie todd whitman is nobody.

spending money on this pac is just an effort by the left to try and make the parties "generic" again.

Perhaps she should become a democrat and do the same "its my party BS."

These people should do what Theresa Heinz did. They do not have to change ANY of their views; just admit your party left you and become a Democrat.

How big is the Republican tent? Abe Lincoln gave us a clue on July 10, 1858 when he said:

We have besides these men descended by blood from our ancestors-among us perhaps half our people who are not descendants at all of these men, they are men who have come from Europe German, Irish,. French and Scandinavian men…if they look back through this history to trace their connection with those days by blood, they find they have none,…but when they look through that old Declaration of Independence they find that those old men say that We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, [that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are LIFE]and then they feel that moral sentiment taught in that day evidences their relation to those men, that it is the father of all moral principle in them, and that they have a right to claim it as through they were blood of blood, and flesh of the flesh of the men who wrote that Declaration, and so they are. That is the electric cord in that Declaration that links the hearts of patriotic and liberty-loving men together, that will link those patriotic hearts as long as the love of freedom exists in the minds of men throughout the world.

If you can't abide, join the culture of death, the democrat party.

Our vision is a Republican Party that is unified by the basic tenets of fiscal responsibility and personal freedom, but that allows for diverse opinions on social issues by its members.

The first two tenets seem straight-forward. The third is as vague as it can be. If one declares their principles with the implied proviso that they may abandon some of them at any time if they are not consistent with another vaguely stated belief, can one claim to be a principled person?

This explains McCain's sudden love affair with Kyoto and global warming.

Our side needs to do a much better job of educating the average person as to the harm the Kyoto Treaty would do to our economy and employment.

So .. is McCain trying to start his own party .. and is Whitman planning to run as his VP ..???

That's what this looks like to me.

Funny thing though - Rasmussen's poll about the "compromise" said that only 22% were happy with it. You can't win elections with 22% support.

It's just like Al Gore calling the CONSTITUTION a 'living document. A party that believes and stands for anything and everything, stands for nothing.

What these people are is RINOs. Moderate means a person without solid convictions for sale to the highest bidder. An idiot that wishes to appeal to the nonexistent "center" invented by the MSM. Their appeal is to Wafflers, people who have no clue why they are on this planet.

"party’s moderate wing"

  

  1. The Honorable Robert J. Dole (lost presidential election)
  2. President Gerald R. Ford (never elected President)
  3. The Honorable John McCain (never will be elected President)
  4. Christie Todd Whitman (RINO supreme)

    Yep we definitely need to remember these losers.

If Robert J. Dole is Bob Dole, is there any wonder why he lost against Clinton? And, Any wonder why Gerald Ford never won the election?

This group obviously thinks the Republican Party should do without the Christian conservatives, as it did for the 40 years it was out of power.
Push the social conservatives out, and you will encourage them to form another party, perhaps the Christian Conservative Party, thus insuring that socialist/secularist Democrats run our country until the next revolution.

It's My Party Too, Because I Don't Want To Lose My Power And Influence And Start A Principled Third Power - is more like it.

Christie Todd Whitman - the media whore who used Howard Stern to get elected NJ Governor. A cheap stunt worthy of any Dem.
