Metrosexualopolous just laid bare the utter failure of being a GOP bi-partisan moderate. There is no upside to conservatism by engaging in “bi-partisanship” (aka My Way or the Highway) with liberals. Moderates are the disease carrier.
Where I live we are putting so much heat on local Republican “moderates” that they are dropping out of local politics. I say good riddance. The only thing they have done is weaken the Party.
