The Moderate Republican Agenda!

Have you seen the elusive Moderate Republican anytime recently? They still exist, although they probably should be on the Endangered Species List. We were tooling around the Internet and came upon a website, Republicans for Kerry. There, they have a page which defines what a moderate Republican stands for (according to them). All in all, a pretty good list of policy positions, many falling into the Good Government category (what Krauthammer dismissively calls "goo-goo do-gooders"). Alas, the moderate Republicans cited all hail from a long-past era, the 1950's and early 60's for the most part. They cheer Thomas Dewey, Earl Warren, Margaret Chase Smith (Sen. ME), William Scranton (Gov. PA), among others. A resurgence of those kind of politicians seems highly unlikely.
