Moderate means Democrat Lite. Moderates always move the country to the Left, never to the Right. Compromise always seems to mean give the Left just a little less than what they ask for - never give the Right anything.

Moderate is bad and is truly what is bad about American Politics because its always one way - just a little closer to Leftist victory.

“Compromise always seems to mean give the Left just a little less than what they ask for - never give the Right anything.”

Which eventually means the left gets everything it wants, at some point- everything the right wants will eventually be compromised away- “its the pragmatic thing to do” or “politics is the art of the possible.” Rubbish.....

So let's change our usage of the term moderate. From now on all conservatives should refer to themselves and other conservative leaders/pundits as moderate. It worked for the socialists as they kept referring to themselves as Liberal. When the media howl with outrage and question how could we label ourselves as moderate it will be a great opening. We would get to point out that we are not the ones that advocate baby murder, total central government control, crippling regulatory environment, creating welfare state dependency/slavery and surrendering our national sovereignty. Therefore we must be the moderates, as the supporters of these positions are the Jacobins.

Exactly. How do you compromise with a socialist when they don’t believe you have a right to what you earn or own? It doesn’t matter weather we are talking spending, abortion, environment,workers rights, sex freakism(glbtq), its all the same. Its all about using the government to force our will and our money into servitude of the leftist political class for their benefit.

We need people at a minimum who represent the will of the people who elect them. A deep red state should have a deep red Senator and our goal should be to move every state to a more constitutional more conservative bent so as to protect our nation. There should be no desire to compromise. The left has shown no willingness to respect us. They are always pushing big homogenous plans to force us to agree with them from schools to health care they call merely disagreeing and religious piety ‘Hate’. This is a war they started and individuals like Lugar will not win it. They will instead give our country away piece by piece bit by bit without firing shot.
