As I've mentioned many times, I came to party politics distrusting and frustrated with both political parties but that I found the Democrats to have a bigger tent with a less ideologically driven agenda... (it goes without saying this was during the Bush era...)
Former Chair of the Henry County Republican Party Charles Mobley posted a great example--legislating morality is not something government should be doing.
We will be moving in the right direction[sic] as a nation when ideologues who hold these kinds of priorities lose power and influence within the Republican base.
Until that day, moderates will have a tough time within the Republican Party, and our nation will be the worse for it....
I do hope some moderates show up in Republican primaries to challenge Republican ideologues... though I'm not confident that it will happen as seen from Glen Becks influence on Republican activists....
