These days, there's little room in the Republican Party for those office seekers who are not "far right." What few moderates left in the GOP are being driven out, or are the targets for being driven out. The best hope for the future of the GOP is for these hard-righties to lose, and for the Republicans to rebuild their party around moderates who are just right of center. This country is best "run" from the middle.
That is almost what Clinton said when they asked how he secured his second term. My husband says all of the far right stuff and I look over at him and say "Really? You're really on board with that? Seriously?" Then after question after question, he sheepishly admits that he only supports >< that much of it. When asked about that, he says that "You have to get your people in, which is why you have to tow the party line sometimes."
I intend to ask you guys a couple of questions in another thread, but that just hit me like "Wow... 4 years ago, the only platform the democrats had was 'Well, atleast we aren't Bush'" Does anyone really stand for anything anymore?
