“There’s nothing in my record that would suggest that I’m a moderate.”-- Jeb Bush, last month in Iowa.
I love this quote because it perfectly captures the current state of the GOP and explains why this country is in a political mess right now.
I remember a time when being branded a liberal was a bad thing if you were a Republican but being a moderate was perfectly acceptable. In the current political climate, however, there is no such thing as liberal Republicans (they are now called "Democrats") and a moderate within the GOP ranks is viewed with contempt, especially during the presidential primary season.
