Republican Moderates

Yesterday I heard an analysis regarding the disappearance of Republican Moderates. Where is Jacob javits or Arlen Specter when you need them. The analyst was pining over their disappearance from the party and the total takeover by the extremists of the Republican wing of politics. I disagree. Republican moderates still exist, only they are Democrats. Mary Landrieux from Louisiana who loves the oil industry. Ben Nelson from Nebraska who loves the Health Insurance industry. Joe Manchin from West Virginia who shivers at the thought of campaigning with the President. We can now add Claire McCaskill from Missouri to that list. She carried the water for Obama and now the glass has dripped dry. Another vote counter who wants to score big by embarrassing the President over a no bid contract for a drug without admitting that more open bidding exists under this President than the previous one for sure. We all know Joe Lieberman who allegedly caucuses with Democrats but who never misses an opportunity to look like the Hartford Insurance Industry's poster boy. These senators are the moderates in the Republican party. They abandon the President at their own peril. Loyalty, when needed most seems to be dissipated into the air of local politics. Hopefully the true Democrats have a long memory. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
