GOP Speakers Looking to Reach Moderates (AP)

Good luck. Hopefully, anyone considering themselves "moderate" on social issues will read the party platform before deciding to support this collection of religious zealots.

This is no longer the party of Lincoln, TR, Goldwater and Reagan - this is now the party of Gary Bauer, Alan Keyes, James Dobson and Rick Santorum. Add to it that Bush has seemingly abandoned even fiscal conservatism, driving the deficit to new highs while cutting taxes and increasing spending, and I, lifelong libertarian/Republican that I am, can no longer support in any way this bunch of wackos.

This year, the Republicans are decidely the greater of the two evils we're presented with every four years.

AP - Republicans at their party's convention were turning Tuesday to conditions at home after saluting President Bush as a wartime leader. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger gets star billing as the GOP extends its outreach to moderate Democrats and independents.
