But how often do moderates have any articulate rational message? It seems to me that all too often they simply propose "Dem lite", in a manner that leaves them to blame when the Democrats' programs turn out to be dismal failures (as a sensible person would realize they would be).
Look I dont like moderates myself but thats why the politics is heading. Conservatives are not a winning majority by themselves and there are too many divisions within our ranks ( fiscal versus social versus libertarian etc). The party has to refocus and regroup and find a winning message, structurally Republicans have to re group.
