Romney may not be moderate by your standards, but you have to look at him relative to the rest of his party. He's not nearly as crazy as many of them. That's a continuing trend and, sadly, there really aren't many actual liberals left in politics. To quote Bill Maher:
Over the last 30 odd years, Democrats have moved to the right and the right has moved into a mental hospital. So what we have is one perfectly good party for hedge fund managers, credit card companies, banks, defense contractors, big agriculture and the pharmaceutical lobby... That's the Democrats. And they sit across the aisle from a small group of religious lunatics, flat-earthers and civil war re-enactors who mostly communicate by AM radio and call themselves the Republicans and who actually worry that Obama is a socialist. Socialist? He's not even a liberal. I'm with Bill on this one. Romney isn't crazy enough to be more than "moderate." You assigning that label to him shows an underestimation of the craziness from the Right that I would not have expected of you, Dissy :) -BB ![]() |
