Thank you for link, Atlantan, and thanks also to justsaynomore for similar comments. I think the link is helpful in explaining the situation.

They’re generally more conservative, family-oriented, and have a dislike of the gubmint telling them what do to. I have an aunt who is as staunch a Democrat as she is a Baptist. Billy Graham is a registered Democrat as well.”
I agree. I **REALLY** wish some FReepers would stop repeating the wrong statement that there are no moderate Democrats left. That simply is not true. There may not be many left, and they may well be in the process of being driven out of any political influence in their own party, but to say they don't exist is simply wrong.
Moderate and conservative Democrats need to be recruited to become Republicans, not being antagonized by claims that they are closet liberals.
