Navel-gaze and celebrate your enlightenment, I guess.

Just like all the other moderates.

"Being a moderate gets you no respect."

Well, guess what, Lucia. There's a reason for that. It's because you really don't deserve much.

The inclusiveness argument may not go over that well after Sunday School, so to justify your moderate views to other conservatives, remind them what America is: Home of modern democracy, land of the free, something out of a Toby Keith song. Explain how it is patriotic to support plurality, how this country was founded on competing claims and spurring ideals. How what separates us from dictatorships like Iraq (a little overplayed, but a reliable example) is our ability to coexist with our political adversaries without oppressing them or depriving them of proportional influence. If they try to argue, look outraged and call them unpatriotic. Try not to start a fight in the church parking lot. It’s bad publicity.

Why do I get the feeling she's never seen the inside of a church? Smug little be-ach. Hey, Lucia- here's you're freakin' moderate after he pulled out of the church parking lot.

A “centrist” is one without the guts to take a position.

Freerepublic needs an enema.

To paraphrase a great American, moderation in patriotism is no virtue.

If you’re a middle-of-the-road Democrat, you may as well be a Republican

Exactly what we've been saying for years. If you're a middle-of-the-road democrat, vote for McCain. He was made for you. You are what he's pandering to.

Patriotic Moderate

Oxymoron. Probably without the "oxy."

Reminds me of some of the great lines in American history, uttered by patriotic moderates:

1. Give me liberty or give me a corned beef sandwich.
2. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that some men are created equal.
3. One if by land, two if by sea, three if I can't figure it out.
4. Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask for the TV Guide.
5. Mr. Gorbachev, spackle this wall!

The first thing Lucia is to put down the bong and step away from your breakfast of tofu salad.

And what is a 'Patriotic Moderate' anyway? One who believes in only a little bit of victory in a war? Or that we only need 'some' of our rights protected? Or maybe that a 'little bit' of communism is okay.

And not that I care, but Lucia have you ever been 'only a little bit' pregnant? That's 'moderate', no?

'Moderates' (harrumph). What are they good for - absolutely nothing.

If you’re a progressive Republican

Tells me all I need to know about soi-disant moderates. They are crypto-socialists.

I’m a Fredhead still sulking over him dropping out so don’t read anything into this, But

I have to ask myself now that we are down to just McCain, who would I rather turn the military over to,

McCain, Clinton, or Obama?

Two of the above names would destroy the military as an effective fighting force by the sheer number of trained soldiers who would get out as soon as they could. They will be replaced by young people just looking for a job in the poor economy that certainly will come with a quasi-socialist government. Having served in the Navy under Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan I have seen this first hand, the difference in moral. Under Jimmy Carter, FTN was very popular graffiti found on the bulkheads of my ship, the stalls in the heads, and at the top of letters the sailors sent home. I’m not going to spell it out but you know what FTN stands for. When Reagan took over this attitude changed and we had pride once again, and re-enlistments went way up, and that foul graffiti disappeared.

If McCain is our nominee, as much as I dislike him I will hold my nose and vote for him for the sake of the military alone.

"Being a moderate gets you no respect."

Wow. Being a MODERATE means you can't actually take a stand on something. It's a wishy-washy place. Even LIBERALS chose a SIDE and they don't apologize for that (though they apologize for every other person in the world except the Right).

Being a MODERATE generally means, I'm sorry to say, you simply aren't a leader, can't make a decision and are really just a "let's wait and see how the polls go" kind of a person.

Rush calls people like Lucia "jello heads".

I might add to that....lemon jello heads with the same color.
