Limbaugh, Palin Urge Right to Purge Moderates From Republican Party

Back to article

They don't care about us. None of them are PRO-WORKING class. Rush along with Obama, the media (Yes YOU US News), corporate fat-cats, wall street, all of them are sell-outs. Nobody's moderate anymore after the Reagan and Clinton years. Democrats have become like the Republicans. I don't know bout any of you folks on here, but I'm sticking to my guns against both parties.

For some issues a conservative position is useful. For some issues a progressive stance is useful. Adopting prejudiced or extremely partisan positions (too much to either side) will not be in the best interest of the country. If we are truly "one nation under God." then we do have to believe in sharing and providing for our needy. Sometimes a reasonable level of government moderation to facilitate providing for the needy is a good thing. That shouldn't be confused with (or intentionally decried as) communism. Of course, governmental facilitation of providing for all the people should be done in a balanced way so that the population doesn't feel excessively taxed.
Excessive capitalism erodes individuality as much as communism, believe it or not. I hope the people of this great country don't get quagmired in mindless bickering and lose sight of actual issues that need to be addressed for present and future national prosperity and progress.

Nothing I can find about Ms. Scozzafava would fit in the definition of "Moderate." Spin, Spin, Spin.

Did Scozzafava "quit" (not that she's being called a "quitter" either) due to "relentless attacks" or was it, as you later note and she stated, lack of support?
To Purge, Baby, Purge... I have to wonder about all these non-conservatives who are just SO worried about us poor conservatives losing if we kick out all the turncoat phonies like Scozzafava. Said RINO, who wouldn't even pledge to remain a Republican while she was running, was happy to accept GOP monies while married to a union guy who supported the Dems, then throws her increasingly dwingling support behind her one-time opponent at the behest of Dems. Now she endorses the Dem. There's loyalty and commitment for you.
Y'all just go on and slam Palin. "They" told Reagan he was too conservative, too old and merely a washed up bit actor three decades ago.
As for Hoffman's campaign, they told Dede NOT to endorse Hoffman, as they didn't want her support in any fashion. Something called integrity.
I agree with the "drivel" commentary. Perhaps US News could stop listening to the "experts" and get a clue before no one comes here other than their mothers and as a result or a link.

I hope Rush succeeds. Driving moderates out of the Republican tent simultaneously drives the Loser Nail into the Republican coffin. But he might want to rethink his "moderates have no principles" analysis in light of the New York experience with Nelson Rockefeller. But what do I know? I can't see Russia from my back porch.

I have not check into US News & World Report for some time. I did not realize the Koolaid was flowing freely at this grand ole rag.
In short a very biased and thus poorly written piece of drivel.
Please hire some better reporters as there are plenty looking for work these days.

Does Obama get to say who is a moderate?

HAHA-a joke article of OK 3:58PM November 03, 2009

Can this be a) any more biased? and b) any more wrong?
This seriously belongs in the op-ed section

This women is NOT a moderate. I like how the media keeps talking her up as one. Why she runs as a Republican I don't know. I'm glad she isn't running. I would consider myself a moderate, but if I have to pick between a liberal or a no-gay-rights, bible banging conservative, then I'm picking the bible banger.

Who in the media decided Dede Scozzafava is a 'Moderate' while her Conservative opponents are all 'Hard Right'? Scozzafava is a Liberal Republican. She's more in line with the Far-Left that's captured the soul of the Democrat Party, and proved it when she endorsed her former Democrat challenger.
Dede Scozzafava is no Moderate. Rush Limbaugh speaks, he doesn't 'huff'. And this article is so patently and transparently biased it's cringe-worthy and embarrassing.
