No More Moderates
So I said that I would be posting mainly about gay and lesbian issues and then my first post is about neither lol, sorry 'bout that. Anyways it seems that in Wisconsin the rebublicans are trying to get rid of the moderates. Fantastic, they have kept pulling to the right and now hopefully (for me its been a few years) they are going to far.
GOP Faithful Would Bar Help For Moderates

Are moderates being frozen out of the Republican Party of Wisconsin? It appears a large majority of party delegates would like exactly that, according to a nonbinding resolution passed at last weekend's state convention in Appleton.
Resolution 25 urged the GOP "to withhold all promotional and financial support of those candidates that do not consistently subscribe to this overall conservative agenda, be they incumbent or new candidates."
It also urges the party to "actively and vigorously" seek out candidates for office who "will go in this conservative direction, and respect the wishes of party members."
"I have worked hard to raise the conservative voice," convention chair and state Sen. Cathy Stepp, R-Sturtevant, told the delegates in Appleton last weekend. "We should never apologize for our conservative agenda."
From the speech by Stepp to the prominent booths of pro-life groups, the Appleton convention was a conservative's paradise.
It was a paradise with no prominent moderate elected officials, such as former state Sens. Mary Panzer and Peggy Rosenzweig, both previously defeated by more conservative Republicans.
The fundamental touchstones of conservatism like family values, freedom for everyone and fiscal responsibility must be preserved, Stepp said.
First of all what a f*cking misuse of the word conservative, and if you have any questions about that look at their hero, mr. prez. Anyways how am I gonna go back to this shit from Germany, I have to tell you that the mainstream conservatives here are like our Dems.
