Why are McCain, Specter, etc. still in the party then if they have a way of purging the "impure" elements?
1. They went after Specter hard as we all know- if anything he is an example of the difference.
2. McCain has too much non-party local support to be vulnerable, as do all other surviving moderate Republicans- thought of Course McCain is actually quite conservative on most issues, so he is vulnerabl;e only in a few fronts. The second the extreme right thinks that has changed, BAM, they go right at them, like they did with Specter. So if they thought Snow was weak in Maine, you bet they would seek to destroy her and put someone more "pure".

You're a republican? I take it a north east republican?
I'm a Libertarian Republican. Kind of in the mold of Arnold Swarzenegger... you know him, right? Is he a liberal girly man? Or if you don't like him, what about Barry Goldwater?
Zell Miller, "moderate" Democrat?
The man is a republican too lazy to do like all his fellow southerners and switch party affiliation.
You'd be surprised how many Democrats down here are just as conservative as Zell. And, of course, the South has the Republican Governor of Alabama who wants to increase welfare, a lot. Party affiliations get wierd here.
Did I just call him rational?!
This coming from a Red Sox fan .
I've met the kind before they swear up and down they're republicans because they agree with a couple of republican issues, but when you get right down to it they're about as liberal as they come.
As Ronald Reagan (my avatar, if you hadn't noticed) said, "People who agree with us 80% of the time are not our enemies". Are you saying you DON'T AGREE WITH PRESIDENT REAGAN?
Hear that Imran? You're really a liberal with an identity crisis.
Please, accept reality and come into the light!
I've been called worse. Newsmax called me a commie because some of them saw one of my posts on Poly.

That Democrats can't actually push dissenters out of their party (just look at Zell) while republicans have a way of purging the "impure" elements.
*points to Olympia Snow and Lincoln Chafee*

Factions went hard after Specter and yet the Prez campaigned for him. An identitity crisis perhaps but the party was not lock step in favor of his ousting. (Yes I found it very bad form that some factions of the repubs went after him in the first place)

It seems the Dems are trying with Zell. They want him out and if he was running for Senate this year, I'm sure they'd try to get a more 'Democratic' candidate.
If your a commie, what does that make me? A stalinist?
No, a Nazi-Commie!

Why dont people use the more descriptive terms POPULIST and LIBERTARIAN more, these go a long way to describing the views of many of these moderate politicials. Are people simply to unfamiliar with these terms and their meanings so we default to calling someone like Rudolph Guliani a "Socialy Moderate Republican" or a "Barry Goldwater Republican" or a "North East Republican" or a "Pro-Choice Republican" or some other term.
As for my vote, I am a Liberal and I would not vote for Her because of here hard right adgenda, she is quite literaly a DOUBLE STUFFED OREO! not just black on the outside but a women too! now with twice the creamy white conservative filling!
Here is a hint to all you Conservatives out their, blacks can see through these people like GLASS. They despise them and you even more because you continue to exploit minorities as you claim to be helping them. Incressingly middle of the road white america can see this as well, your not earning any points from anyone but your base.
Lastly Hillary is NEVER going to be a Democratic Presidential nominee not in this millenium we are NOT THAT STUPID though I can see how conservatives would like to think we are. (remember our failing is gutlessness and YOURS is stupidity). A very liberal weoman senator from a liberal state with a ton of political bagage could never hope to compete on the national stage. For all the reasons republicans constantly put out these oreos the democrates will always put out a white male as its candidate (a southener if we can manage its) its the oreo strategy in reverse for us. So please stop use Hillary as the "Liberal Boogy-weomen" to scare the middle, it makes about as much sense as us accusing the republicans of planning to clone Hitler as their nominee in 2012.

Oh jeez, another one of these black Republicans are Uncle Tom idiots . You guys are almost as bad as Malevolent Light who claims there is only one way to be a Republican. Hell, you are WORSE, saying there is only one way to be a black person. You are racists of the worst kind.
