Flimsey Graham started campaigning for Tom Ridge before the rotten-apple stench of Specter left the Republican caucus. That right there is enough to tell you we don’t need no more stinking “moderates.” The air on the right side of the chamber is still putrid.
McCain’s presidential run was the death knell of the Bush-era Republican party. “Moderates” ran the party into the ground with their spending sprees and Specter-style (absence of) principles. It’s time for “conservatives” to take it back.
If Graham and Snowe and Collins and McCain don’t like it, they’re welcome to run sniveling into the spindly bosom of Harry Reid.
