The Top 7 Reasons Why The GOP Can't Build A Political Party Around Moderates
George Bush spent 8 years pursuing a "new tone," he moved the party to the center domestically, and the GOP's policies when they were in charge could best be described as "big government Republicanism." They spent money at a fantastic clip, handed out goodies like the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, pushed pork, ignored the base to promote amnesty and the bailout, and ran a moderate presidential candidate.
The Democrats, on the other hand, have put hard core left-wingers in charge of every important post in their party and ran the most liberal man in the Senate -- and they were the ones who pulled in the "moderates" during the campaign.
How can that be?
It's because the GOP absolutely cannot build a successful political party around "moderates."

If you will recall, Hawkins was disinvited to the GOP convention for his outspoken opposition to McCain.

Again, if building a political party and a political campaign based on "moderates" were the way to go, John McCain would have won in a landslide. David Frum and other people like him had their perfect candidate in McCain, and yet, they couldn't close the deal. So now, they want to blame conservatives (mainly Palin) for their loss.
