It depends on how you define moderate. Subtract social issues and today's Republican party is moderate to even liberal in some cases. Many Republicans are far right on social issues i.e. marriage is between a man and a woman.
Well Hitler was a pretty good guy if you subtract the killing of Jews and invading countries. Basically, those social issues are apart of the bag for the Republicans, you can't cherry pick the parts you like, you gotta eat it all, including the rotten cherries.
What?? This means you just barely left the GOP, correct? I've been fed up with both parties for over a decade. It's quite liberating to be free from the partisan brain-washing, isn't it? Unless of course you opted for the other brainwashing machine -- and that would be tragic.
I have equal contempt for the behavior of both political parties leading up to this "fiscal cliff" mess. I find it a little ridiculous that so many want to pin the blame on the GOP without assigning an equal share of blame to the "do nothing" Democrats in the Senate. Here's how things work: The House sends legislation to the Senate. Harry Reid throws all of them in the garbage and doesn't even allow them to be voted on. That is the other side of the story of how we got to the fiscal cliff to begin with. Both parties are too busy arguing and sabotaging each other to bother actually governing the nation and doing the job the American people elected them to do.
..The media controls this country and they swing to the left. The democratic senate wouldn`t look at anything the house put out there. But the house is supposed to slobber all over anything that the democratic senate or the president throws their way. If they vote it down, then they are the ones to blame for everything? However the senate doesn`t even look at anything the house comes up with and the media doesn`t blame them or the president for anything. i`m just tired of all of the blaming that the president does. First he blamed Bush for everything. Now he blames the house for everything. He isn`t accountable for anything. So much for leadership.

Now, I want you to step back from what you said, and tell us, in your best intellect, how supporting the historic definition of marriage, i.e. 1 man and 1 woman, is "far right".
It's the NORM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not "far right".
Hawaii...There is a reason why they call it paradise.
Their economy is in a shambles, many houses have up to 3 generations living together in a small, squalid house 'cause they can't afford better.
Lots of people, because of liberal policies, have to work two or three part-time jobs just to keep their head above water. It is one of the highest-cost--lowest wage places in America.

...quit voting for Democrats when I learned to read and write.......
How old were you when that happened? I learned how to read and write long before I could vote...though that might explain why you vote Republican.
