The problem isn’t with Republicans, the problem is with politicians like Judd Gregg.

Gregg is one of those “moderate” libertarian-type Republicans who are soft (and I’m being charitable) on social issues. He voted against the Marriage Amendment, and voted for the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (embryonic being the key point here). He also voted for the immigration reform bill in 2007, which is in line with the doctrinaire libertarian belief that “free people can sell their labour wherever they want.”

It’s these socially-liberal libertarian types that are killing us. They’re soft on those issues, and they eventually start to go soft on the rest, since they have no firm, foundational guiding moral principles.

That's an unfair and inaccurate characterization that attempts to put the (l)ibertarian wing of the GOP in a bad light.

Gregg is NOT a fiscal, national defense or social conservative...no matter what he says.

There are many dims in the South more conservative than this guy in every category.

Have an ax to grind with 50% of the GOP? Want us to go away so you can have the party to yourself?
