I dunno, chief - you might find yourself all alone on that one.

Fellow Freepers ... one of the reasons we lose so often is that we have allowed the Left (i.e. the Media) power over the political dictionary. My beef is with the deceptive word "Moderate".
Am I the only one who has noticed that the way "Moderate" is defined by the presstitutes is virtually identical to "Democrat"? If you're a Republican who is pro-abortion, for gun-control, for racial preferences, for big intrusive government and gay marriage, and against school choice, you're somehow a "Moderate" (i.e. Lincoln Chafee). But if you're a Democrat, you're just an ordinary [no adjective] / "Moderate" (i.e. John Breaux) Democrat.
But if you're a Democrat who is against some of these things, you're a "Conservative" (i.e. Ralph Hall / Zell Miller). But if you're a Republican, you're a dangerous "Right-Wing" / "Out of the Mainstream" / "Extremist" Republican. In other words, Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton are "Moderates" under the presstitute definition!
This has to stop. Compare how many times the presstitutes mention "Moderate Republicans" as opposed to "Moderate Democrats". You hardly ever hear the "Moderate" adjective being attached to even avowedly Blue-Dog Democrats. But you see and hear the phrase "Moderate Republican" all the damn time. What this does is tell the public that the vast majority of Republicans (and the GOP as a whole) are "immoderates" / "extremists".
Like I said before, this has to stop immediately. We (especially those of us with ties to the GOP leadership) have to make certain that "Moderate" is no longer a viable descriptor for anyone who calls him or herself a Republican, whether you're John McCain, Rudy Guiliani or Ron Paul. You're either a Republican or you're not. Who sat down, under whose authority, to decide what is "Moderate" and what is not? And why should we accept their definition when it's clearly anti-Conservative and actively pro-Leftist?
DOWN WITH "MODERATE" REPUBLICANISM!!!'Kay. Hey, maybe we can organize a good, old fashioned purge of the grand old party. You know. Accusations of conspiracy. Mass arrests. Covert abductions. Show trials. Forced confessions. Panicky demonstrations of party discipline and elan. That sort of thing.
... Hey, it worked for Lenin, why not the GOP? I'm thinking labor camps here ...A whole archipeligo of them. So to speak. This things got legs, I can feel it.
... Nah the framers gave us a much more easier way. Vote the dirt bags out of office ...Once again that damned voice of reason intrudes and ruins everything. And I had a great idea for a uniform for our secret police and paramilitaries too. Hint: tunics and jodhpurs and jack boots and lots of cool leather gear.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of My mouth.

I've sent it to Rush several times but have never heard him use it on the air. It says everything I need to know about moderates...
Possibly but the DEM's have a lot higher sucess rate at doing this it seems. Look at all the RINO's playing the DEM Lite polka. While you can count on one hand conservative Dems. Like it or not the DEM party now controls a substancial portion of the GOP by not making those persons change parties but rather changing their rivals policies.
