Sorry Hostage, there is no such thing as a moderate republican or democrat, they are either in the conservative or liberal camp.
The so-called moderates especially in the senate is why we got killed the last two weeks. I am not going to reward them for that, even if we vote for them and we “win” when it comes time to stand up and be counted we know that “win” will bite us in the butt see John Benedict Arnold McCain.
The time worn and thread bear Republican booge man of vote for us even it we are moderates/liberals because the democrat boogey man will get you is done. The moderate/liberal republican boogey man did more damage and got us——again.
No more moderates/liberals for me.
They talk about the need for a “Third Party”.
To get that, we need a “Second Party”, first.
If you don’t have a conservative on the ticket worth a damn, then you’re going to be sitting out the election.
If you vote for a democrat to spite the republicans in your district, you’re delusional at best.
If I were to have a moderate on the republican ticket and no conservative worth a damn, and if such a moderate were liberal on social issues like VAWA, Homosexual marriage and smoke all the pot you want, AND was conservative on fiscal issues such as defund Obamacare, then I vote for the moderate who might be more aptly called a libertarian. I wouldn’t like it but it would be better than sitting home and letting the democrat union goon rep take the election in a cakewalk.
But such a moderate would get a 2 year term while I would be working behind the scenes to scout out a strong tea party conservative that could persuade the voters we have the better smarts.
