"Why don't moderates ever land on the side of conservatism?"

Well there was Zell Miller. We have also been able to pick off Lieberman on some of the foreign policy votes. The difference is that when a Dem moderate votes with us the Democrats retaliate against them to be sure they don't do it again. In contrast Johnny Mac and the rest of the RINO traitors know that Frist won't do a darn thing to them or their pet projects. If they knew that there would be a price to pay the moderates would be less willing to sell us out at every single chance they get.

It's rare, in part because the Left plays a harder form of ball than the right does. The exit from the Left is harder. A complete lack of morality provides certain tactical advantages to the Left. They will do anything to destroy a person that stands in their way. Defectors stand in their way. Conservatives have morality, and do not exact the sorts of penalties for defections that the Left does.
