This is unfortunately needed. Look one of the biggest problems in the last decade with the Republican Party is that it has more moderates in terms of voting record than the Dem party (though this shifted a little in the last election), and they are too weak to stand up to even stop spending increases let alone be strong enough to push for actual cuts to government. Then you get too many people who blame the ENTIRE Repub party for wanting too much spending and that just further feeds the growing biggest BS delusion of both parties being the same.
I'd rather have a moderate than a Liberal, but the difference of being reluctantly for spending increases as opposed to enthusiastically for them is not enough for most people to notice or make a difference.
Besides only a true party whore would just want to see people elected so long as they have a D or R next to their name, they have to stand for something.
Like most Americans I am crying out for a return to limited government, for going back down the route of at least attempting to start paying down debt. If they are not going to support that and they aren't and if there is a good chance a more Conservative Repub can be there who will, then is it worth it?
Finally it boils my blood to see moderates play both sides, which they usually end up doing. Take a guy like Schwartzeneggger who starts up a large after school social welfare program, increases spending everywhere, starts new expensive environmental initiatives, supports the bankrupting socialist agenda in healthcare and then have the gall to stand up and complain about tax increases and the deficit. I mean he is just as guilty as the Dems over there.
