Now the GOP ignored the wisdom of Reagan and deceived themselves into believing they needed to enlarge the ‘big tent’ and put in place all manner of sorts that literally could not be distinguished from the liberal mindset they call mainstream.
Moderates think it is their duty to always compromise with liberals and what happened is their ‘big tent’ was shrunk down to a golden TARP.
I can remember the moderate reaction to Duncan Hunter as a nobody member of the House of Representatives and nobody from the House ever gets elected president. So the ‘big’ money went to the leftist Republicans. I recall that this nation's national security was the major issue to the majority of moderates and that in their minds Rudy was the go to guy to protect US...
AND history shows every time a moderate or a liberal becomes the peoples choice this nation stumbles and leans left.
I have NO sympathy for the moderate political class as they can eat the cake being baked for them in the mainstream. They provided the dough for this mix and I do not care how bitter it is in their tummies.
