This is "newspeak". Sphincter, Chafee, Snowe and Collins are NOT "moderates". They are LIBERALS.
Rather than making sure no one doesn't 'miss the message' - why don't you read what I said. I said the GWB went along with the moderate Republicans who spent too much. The liberal Republicans that you cite (and with which I agree with the label that you attach) didn't have enough votes by themselves to push through the spending that was voted into law from 2000 to 2006 - it took more than them to pass those laws. So stick your 'newspeak' where it doesn't shine.
