The current Republican Presidential candidate is a moderate from Massachusetts. In last week's debate, he declared that he would not lower tax bills for the rich, that regulation was good and necessary, and that he would not cut education. What's funny is that conservatives don't care anymore and loved it.

In fairness he didn't say that he wouldn't lower taxes for the rich.  He said he'd cut taxes but it would be revenue neutral and that the rich would pay the same proportion of revenue as they do now.

What's up with Dem posters thinking we want to read large walls of politically slanted text?

The problem with the American left

I find the GOP far more interesting than the Democrats, and tbh in terms of temperament I'm about evenly split between the last time the two parties were sane (approx. 1960).  The powerlessness of the GOP's sane wing is a problem for the country, and all Americans should be concerned.

That's probably a good way to get people to agree. Label your political opponents insane.

 So by talking into an echo-chamber, you heard of their naughty mischief so much you deduced they must be insane?

That says more about Languish than about the GOP. /shrug

I thought it was pretty good, I'm definitely one of those moderate Republicans who are jumping ship at this point. Obama definitely represents my policy choices than the current GOP. I just don't trust them. Of course it doesn't really matter since I'm from Rhode Island.

I voted for Bush twice, and for McCain by the way.

Of course we do.  They think they're losing.  It's a mark of Romney's success last week.

Having insane political opponents means you are probably not going to agree regardless.
