According to tp'er a moderate is anybody that agrees with their philosophy all other republicans are liberal communists with an R beside their name. I am not making this up.
I'm pretty sure "Republican" and "liberal" are oxymoronic terms and someone who equates them is - oh, what's the word........NUTS!
Here's another tidbit from the right - Shrub said during a speech that slavery is a "crime against humanity". Don't know if that was off the cuff or prepared by his speechwriter. That single sentence twisted Fox panties and he was soundly chastised over the ensuing days by conservative media. How dare someone suggest that slavery is a moral wrong...humph...
Speaks volumes about where they're coming from.
No it is not my father's GOP and I'm thankful for that. My father's GOP sat by quietly while "Tricky Dicky" unConstitutionally took the USA off the gold standard in 1971 and defaulted on the debt for the 3rd time in US History (1st time was under FDR, 2nd under LBJ).
The Darling of the Republican Party for the last 30 years could not be elected dog catcher in a tea party controlled district. This is how far right the Republican party has gone. This is not your father's Republican party.
I'd rather go too far right than to vote for the alternative right now. You think it's ok to vote for marxism over conservatism when we owe 7 x what we make in a given year?

I did not know there was a marxist running for office. To whom would you be referring?

Dittos ...for JFK and the leftist democratic party.

JFK would fit in nicely with the Democratic party. Probably would not do well in San Francisco or some of the more liberal districts, but in general, yes who would do rather well.

Marxism? Don't be vague, who are the Marxists - be specific. And explain their connection to the marxist teachings (keeping in mind that conservatives are largely responsible for "what we owe").
I get it, you are kidding.

JFK CUT taxes. today's dems would never stand for that.

I think you made my point for me. You can't be a conservative by the fringe Republicans unless you cut taxes and never raise taxes. Reagan cut taxes and then raised them right after that three times. SO based on those tax increases he could not get nominated. That was my point. The right is obsessed with lower taxes no matter what the cost to the country. But hey the rich get to keep their money.
