...as they should be. They have certainly earned the title.

So, I figure it is a good thing that this country's people are getting a full-front assault of what that handful of extremists really look like,...what they are really all about and,...how disgusting the degree of their true agendas and motivations aimed at serving only their own damned selves.

I am glad RUSH is being RUSH and I hope he continues,....towards extinction. I really do. His horrid hatred towards others will die in a world that wants to move towards decency and integrity, unity and fairness. We need no more fascist-types to intrude upon humanity.

So, carry-on, RUSH. Carry ON!!!

2. Steele: "There was no attempt on my part to diminish his (Limbaugh's) voice or his leadership."
Limbaugh provides the RNC with "leadership."

3. I wonder if the Repubs are getting ready to dump the extremists
The Limbaughs, the Hannitys, the Religious WingNuts, the Coltergeist.

That's the only way they can be taken seriously in the future.

8. It's not for me to acknowledge them, they should acknowledge themselves.
I haven't heard any moderate republicans screaming to be heard in the last 8 years.

6. The 'moderate' Repubs maybe?
They're more like the Repubs I grew up with.
I don't know. Just wondering.


Here's some wiki stuff:

Moderates within the GOP tend to be, to varying degrees, fiscally conservative and socially liberal. While they often share the economic views of other Republicans - e.g., balanced budgets, lower taxes, free trade, deregulation, welfare reform - moderate Republicans differ in that they may be for some gay rights, abortion rights, gun control, environmental regulation, federal funding of education, fewer restrictions on legal immigration and illegal immigration, abolition of the death penalty, civil rights laws, legalization of drugs, stem cell research, anti-war policies, or any of the above. Deficit spending is a highly contentious issue, within this faction as well as outside of it. Some moderate Republicans criticize what they see as the Bush administration's military extravagance in foreign policy, or criticize its tax cuts. Others may support deficit spending, but feel it ought to be more directed towards social projects. Concerning foreign policy, moderates may be less interventionist than neoconservatives, or place greater value on multilateral institutions. See Republican In Name Only. Also see compassionate conservative. Moderate Republicans have seen their influence in the Republican party diminish significantly since the 1990s. Once commonplace throughout the country, today moderate Republicans tend to be found in elected office primarily in the Northeast and the West.

Moderate Republicans include U.S. Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani, Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg, former Massassusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell, Vermont Governor Jim Douglas, and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri. Members of some of the other factions sometimes characterize moderates as "Republican In Name Only". The Republican Main Street Partnership is a network supporting moderate Republicans for office, while the Republican Leadership Council is similar in direction. Former New Jersey Governor Christie Todd Whitman founded the Republican Leadership Council PAC in order to promote moderate Republicans for office. The Republican Majority for Choice is a PAC of and for pro-choice Republicans, and is often allied with the moderate branch of the party. Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader and 1996 Presidential nominee Bob Dole has supported the "Main Street" Republicans. John McCain has been considered a moderate Republican for much of his Congressional career; however, he moved considerably to the right on many issues during his unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign.
