What!? Give me a break!
You are truly doing mental backflips now. Cut the bullshit already. Libertarianism is NOT what I'm talking about and you know it. Is Arlen Specter a Libertarian? Is Olympia Snow? I'm talking about moderate positions, not extremists even further to the right economically, and even more extreme on limiting government, than the core GOP is!
Is it that difficult to think about the views of moderate republicans as, MODERATE? You know, the folks who are to the left of you and slightly right of center. It's right in front of your face. You're steadily kicking these guys out of your party, and now you are PRETENDING they don't even exist anymore.
Unbelievable.
