Reply #51: When religion started to be pushed in the repub party [View All]

a lot of moderate repubs quit. I know my ex-in-laws quit the repub party for that exact reason in the late 80's, they would be appalled at what has become of the repub party. She once made the comment that Nixon should have burned those tapes.

I think a lot of moderate repubs joined the dem party, moving the party more and more to the right. Since the liberals had no where to go, they've been forced into being the outsiders. The party leaders have tried to stop the more liberal dems from gaining any seats in DC. This is why Lieberman is still in his seat, the dem party supported him, and ignored Lamont.
