Moderate Republicans said Tuesday they are reviving a group aimed at winning over the political center that deserted the GOP in the 2006 midterm elections.
**snip**
"After the losses in 2006, the reaction was overwhelming that we need to get the Republican Party back to its fiscally conservative roots," Whitman said, adding that the GOP needs to be "a little less judgmental."

Oh boy, two almost indistinguishable parties, with the GOP's big selling point being that they're moving the handcart just a little bit slower than the dems.
The Republican Party is no longer worth saving. It's time for a new Conservative Party. Let the damned RP "whither on the vine".
So they won't be calling it the "Log Cabin Republicans" any more?
There go the RINOs again, calling themselves the "center"...
That's the same Christie Todd Whitman who, as governor of New Jersey, had a day in honor of Roe v. Wade. Save em from moderates.
No doubt . This is just great - the Republicans version of the Democratic Leadership Council ....Barf
Ever since we lost the '06 elections , I feel like i'm in the Twilight Zone with the Republican Party playing Rod Serling .
Me too. Besides, the DLC are fake "moderates", they're just as left as the other Democrats.
No. They have moved out of the cabin and now mingle with the other sex. Demorats.
I would like to have a party that is inclusive of all people, while being anti-illegal immigration, pro-2nd amendment, anti-abortion and be a rather big tent party at the same time.
Unfortunately those type of Republicans are rather hard to find :P
"Unfortunately those type of Republicans are rather hard to find"
They are not hard to find, just ignored by the Rudy lovers that can't tell a Conservative from a dumbocrat, excuse me a RINO.
OH LOOK. Another wing of the Rudy McRomney campaign! *barf*
We don't need a committee to stand up for our principles - we need a SPINE.
Yeah, what the hell is a "moderate" republican?
Someone who only stands for 2.5 out of 5 things that made the party what it was?
Will the party ever learn that imitating Democrats is what lost them the election?
People stayed home in droves to "teach the party a lesson." So, they come back now and wish to move even further left?
I used to be a moderate up to about 2003 or so, but some "moderate" Repubs are as liberal as some Democrats.
they want to imitate the strategy that elected Jim Webb, Jon Tester and other alleged DINOS that helped the Democrats get back congress, but this time the R.leadership council wants to do it with RINOS.
"Moderate Republicans" and "Leadership" is an oxymoron.
If Rudy has anything to do with this idiocy, or endorses it in any way, I am done with him. Period.
