It is time to take our party back from the 1% fringe

30. LOL, thanks to you now that is all I will hear in my mind when that poster types.

In truth, he appears to be a typical monied person with all the selfishness and lack of empathy that implies, but in order to be fair, we must admit that Republicans like that which have infected our party did so because they are not generally as bigoted and backwards as the new Republicans have morphed into. They are moderate on social issues (except when it comes to hiring supervisors and such) and at least can be counted upon to ally with us on things like choice and to a more limited extent marriage equality, many of them still do not believe in marriage equality (preferring Hillary's until recently consistent stance on unions because 'one man one woman' religious nonsense) but lack the hatred of the LGBT members of society that the Registered Republicans consider a tenant of their political ideology.

They often claim they are progressive solely on such social views and claim that other Conservatives in the party are progressive as well regardless of their pro Reagan Pro Corporate, anti regulation and anti welfare type program stances for the same reason - hence the claims by them that Hillary Clinton is a progressive which sounds rather confusing to those of us that actually are Progressive.

Usually they are what we used to call moderate Republicans in the 80's or Reagan Democrats if you want to look at it that way.
