Re: GOP incapable of moderation

Obama has continued or expanded the Bush policies.
Romney, Santorum and Gingrich ALL will continue or expand the Bush/Obama policies.

The Rs want everyone to believe that Bush was a 'saint' while Obama the 'devil incarnate' yet their policies are essentially the same.
In contrast, the Ds want everyone to believe that Obama is a 'savior' while Bush was the 'devil incarnate' yet their policies are essentially the same.
The SAME holds true with Romney, Santorum and Gingrich.

Anyone who falls outside this idiotic paradigm is deemed 'extreme'.

The art of politics, under democracy, is simply the art of ringing it. Two branches reveal themselves. There is the art of the demagogue, and there is the art of what may be called, by a shot-gun marriage of Latin and Greek, the demaslave. They are complementary, and both of them are degrading to their practitioners. The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. The demaslave is one who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself. -- H.L. Mencken

The overarching lesson of this primary season is that Romney and the
Republicans he seeks to win over are incapable of embracing the very
moderation that, particularly in the golden era of Dwight Eisenhower,
defined the party. Instead, they are now a reckless force bent on
destroying the essential social contract that has been the basis of
America's economic and social progress.
