The Closed Maderate Wing of America

Lets face a simple truth......the moderate wing of the Republican Party has been closed since Nelson Rockefeller died in the saddle. Slowly our politics have become an obstacle course of litmus tests as to how to think........funded very well by such personalities as the Coke Brothers. The liberal parts of the political spectrum has had their own media money people.....Trust Me......Wall Street is more left wing than one would presume. Their money has funded many a democrat. How political life has changed since I graduated High School. So for the often desired moderate voter , often put aside in the post election massage of ones political base , what can you be offered as hope for a hint of sane logic return. Or at least a decent measure of deficit minded , medicare fixing , science respecting , capital responsibility. What hope can this simple country blogger give you. This..............ready.................People Die.That's right.....since I first began to pay attention to politics in say my junior year of high school most of those people are dead. Nixon , Johnson , Hudson , Ford, Kennedy , Wm F. Buckley , Wallace , Rayburn , Goldwater , Reagan , Eisenhower , O'Neil , etc etc etc. The large and small eventually leave this earth. Marx died and so did Adam Smith. Future generations roll on and a surprising few look back all that much. Republicans don't mention Eisenhower , Democrats , rarely Johnson. So for the ego driven "Pol" of whatever pole of a political philosophy one sits on. Whatever future you think you or your ideas have shaped , remember , you are only mortal and often so are your political positions and even parties.
