What happened to traditional GOP policy centering around sound economics and restraint of spending? What is so unfortunate is there is seemingly no room for any centrist Republican. Chuck Percy, Danforth, Bush I, Reagan.... I doubt any of these guys could get elected to any office today.

10-15 years ago people like Falwell were on the fringes. Now, they control the GOP "base." It's ludicrous that Falwell gets press when he likens Hillary Clinton's candidacy to that of the Devil himself.

Is it just me or do other Repubs feel the party has moved much too far toward the interests of the Christian Conservatives? Personally I feel insulted by the moral/religous indignation plays run by the GOP. And, how long can this kind of strategy really work?

I know my finger twitched a bit for the first time when I voted for GW for a second term.

And, whatever happend to the Social Security crisis? Were we told to stop worrying about that for now?
I love this post! The sell out to the religious right forced moderates like myself further left.

To add to what you are saying, what happened to small government? Wasnt this one of the most basic GOP ideals?

I like the fact that you are an open minded republican. Its a shame that conservatives with your ideals arent put more on the forefront. Instead, people are left with morons like hannity.
