"As for politics, Republicans seeking the presidency in 2008 would do well to tear a page out of Ford's playbook: Move to the middle and stay away from the far right."
As Rush Limbaugh said yesterday, there are only conservatives and liberals; if you are a moderate, you will become a liberal. If you believe in nothing, you'll believe in anything.
A "moderate" Republican will never get the nomination, and even if they did, they would never win election without the large conservative base.
With all due respect to El Rushbo, he wouldn't know what a moderate was if one bit him on his ass. (*shudder* I could have gone all day without that image in my mind).
His definition of 'moderate' is crafted to appeal to his audience, not to reflect political reality.
It's gonna be Romney or Rudy...I think McCaine is too old.
Rush is wrong.
You're all "moderatophobes" and I'm filing a federal hate crime suit tomorrow.
