True. It as years ago that froze out Joe Lieberman, hardly a moderate Democrat, though he could talk the talk when necessary. The rats idea o a moderate is a rat who speaks politely while still supporting the agenda to turn the US into a socialist, Big Brother state. These days to be a rat, its Not enough to just support their agenda, you must also loudly, shamelessly, and often, falsely demonize your opponents and the portion of Americans who support a different agenda.
