It's sad because there is no reason that people with differing views, like you and I, can't get along and exchange views in mutual respect.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761582841002481643.post-19784741014641204782009-10-23T21:41:22.857-04:002009-10-23T21:41:22.857-04:00I had actually come across the article regarding S...I had actually come across the article regarding Sarah Palin weighing in on the matter on the Huffington Post, but I would have to say I was on the same page as you. I would classify myself as such, a moderate Republican who has been alienated by the party because of the takeover by extremists, and I would make the argument that the Democratic Party had not moved farther left, but has broadened it's range to include former moderates from the right, although not <i>all</i> moderates would fit into this classification.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492761988793782893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761582841002481643.post-81613788516405419462009-10-23T16:22:17.556-04:002009-10-23T16:22:17.556-04:00Kevin, I fear that the moderate wing of the Republ...Kevin, I fear that the moderate wing of the Republican Party is an endangered species. The extremist base demands lock-step conformity with the regime and hounds moderates out of the party. That's is largely why, in my view, that 20% of those who identified themselves as Republicans just two months ago have left the party.<br /><br />In my reply to your most recent comment at Politics Plus, I suggested that you consider the 23rd District in New Your as an example of what ails the Republicans. Did you take my advice, or were we already on the same page?TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.com
