"Moderate Republican" is an oxymoron. They're all on the fringe.

My mistake; I misread what you wrote, in the last message, and thought you said "Moderate Republicans are the best things that have ever happened to actual human beings."

For the record, though, I've enjoyed watching John Boehner trek his way back into the realm of kinda-reasonable over the past few months, and I've also enjoyed watching the Teapublicans get all worked up into a frothy rage over it. It seems there are still a lot of hard-liners in the GOP, and they don't care how detrimental their actions are to their party.

They yearn to return to the 50s, when everyone was white, prosperous and male.

I must admit I quite enjoy watching republicans dig themselves into their grave. Ricky Santorum was gold in the primaries, you could tell he wanted to spew more hate and ridiculous nonsense then he actually let out. Unfortunately it's sad that people like the one mentioned in the OP can actually get a seat in the senate or any other part of the government. I would say they're mentally handicapped, but that would be doing a dis honor to the people who actually have conditions.

The difference between a 'moderate Republican' and the Tea Party is that the former yearn for the 1950s and the latter yearn for the 1850s.

The Daily Show was never funnier than during the Republican primaries for the last presidential election.
