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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
