In fact, what moderates don't realize is that their party was taken away from them years ago. Here they are, fighting a field full of streaw men and dead horses - Political Correctness, Confiscatory Taxation, Democratic "Pacficism," Democratic "Immorality," Internationalism, The United Nations - while the real heart of their party has been taken over by people who want the Bible (Protestant) taught as history/science in publically-funded parochial schools, the elimination of the Departments of Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Education, and the EPA, IRS, and ATF (Which I think is part of Homeland Security now), the flat tax, no taxes on capital gains, and preemptive war. Suppport for Republicans also ,means support for massive governmental and corporate fraud, unconstrained by the kind of forces (unions, PIRGs, the GAO, whistle-blower laws, a free press) that ussually help uncover criminal behavious by the powerful and rich. Anyone who doubts this last claim need only look at what the Republican moderates don't; actual reality. Republicans (and many Democrats) are simply not able to root out fraud and corruption in the Defense Department, the Department of Agriculture, or the Corporate sector, and when you support the Republicans (and to a lesser degree, the Democrats, especially New Democrats) you are supporting this state of affairs.
