If Reagan Tolerated GOP Moderates, Why Can’t Today’s Conservatives?
Pelto — And from whence does ‘morality’ arise? Anything to do with ‘religious beliefs’?
And here we were just talking about the underlying problem with the current situation — the inability of the “social conservatives” (religious nutbars, mostly) and mainstream republicans to mesh cleanly — is the insistence on the conservative’s part to interject religion.
Commentary on CNN today was interesting; the question was whether the GOP would become more moderate as per Colin Powell and gain national political traction or circle the ideological wagons as per Rush Limbaugh and become a regional party.
OK… so we all know which camps we’re in, don’t we?
