Golly Gee Carla, the moderates are still there, they're just democrats now (what they were all along).

Just in the last several years, we've seen Colin Powell endorse Obama, Richard Lugar endorse Michelle Nunn, John Warner endorse Mark Warner, moderate republicans in Kansas have become democrats, and moderate republicans have endorsed democrats for governor, senator and secretary of state, Arlen Specter became a democrat, Charlie Crist became a democrat, Lincoln Chafee became a democrat, John Huntsman is planning on running an independent campaign (probably to thwart conservatives), Lisa Murkowski ran an independent campaign to thwart a conservative, Dede Scozzafava endorsed the democrat to thwart a conservative, and on and on.

Moderate voices are being heard. WE just are not voting for them anymore...because they're democrats. And they can't get elected without US.

Carla, how much did the DNC pay you to dish out this malarkey?

Meanwhile, PSTFU.

Hopefully they're not dead but hibernating like polar bears

Polar bears don't hibernate and we have far more moderate Republicans than we need.

Do you suppose that Carla thinks John Boehner and the rest of the GOPe are far right conservatives?

If so, what does she think we are?

Another one who confuses surrender with moderation.

You would think that conservatives had been running the show all these years, to hear these whiners. Right, that why there’s never yet been a snowball’s chance in hell of getting abortion repealed, or even given back to the states.

It seems they don’t want to even know conservatives exist, just to hear us raise our voices once in a while sends them into a panic and fantasies that we’re taking over. Right, that’s why Cochran sleazed his way to re-election in a very conservative state, and why conservatives are shut out, every single time, in the primaries.

No interest at all in what happened to democrats like Hubert Humphrey, San Nunn & Daniel Patrick Moynihan?

That makes the writer a liberal, not a "moderate".

Moderates are the road-kill of politics. They don’t have core principles and because of that they are like squirrels on a road running back and forth trying to decide at the last instance which way to go before that big car hits them.

People who write articles or letters to the editor like this are just plain stupid. No question. I don’t see any position that any “conservative” is taking that wasn’t a mainstream position 20 years ago. Its just that politics has moved so far to the Left and wishy-washy dopes like Powell and Lugar and McCain have gone along with it. 20 or 30 years ago, no one would have voted for gay marriage, or open borders or $1 trillion deficits. No one.

Well, once you get a president in office that does everything you ever wanted, there’s really no need to speak up.

Carla where are the conservative Democrats? Democrats like William Cotter, Ella Grasso and Scoop Jackson...

Republicans are like the Democrats of 1970.

Democrats are like the Weather Underground of 1970.

Democrats are like Mao’s Red Guards of the 1960s.
