That is a real eye-opening post, AuntB. Moore, Norquist and their ilk at the Country Club for Growth are the elitists of our party. They are very powerful and very influential. It's going to be very difficult to keep them from nominating Rudy next year.
As far as I am concerned, the Moore-Norquist bunch can burn in hell. They don't seem to care at all about this country.

Sigh.
They care about capitalism. America IS capitalism and capitalism IS America.
I remember when conservatives believed in trade, low taxes, limited government and economic freedom. I'm not sure how it happned, but we've just about lost that.
Without capitalism we may as well be Sweden with better geography. Sadly, we're moving that direction. Between the environmentalists, the protectionists, union luddites, and the I-WANT-FREE-HEALTHCARE crowd, it seems like there's not much consituency left for economic liberty.
Enjoy your free health care.
You're gonna need it.
