No room for moderates in the Republican Party. Good job Karl Rove.

Chafee himself laid out some of the ways he disagreed with his party, notably as one of only 23 senators and the only Republican to oppose the resolution supporting the invasion of Iraq. He went on to criticize the “permanent deficits” caused by Republican tax cuts.

Chafee referred yesterday to the broad-based, bipartisan Iraq Study Group that Congress created, a process Chafee approved of. The study group recommended a gradual pullback of American forces, and insistence that the Iraqi government take more responsibility for security. But he said that since the study group made its recommendations, which he agreed with, “no one’s paid any attention to them.”

Never has a rotten apple smelt so good.

People waking up. It feels good!

This is wonderful. Too bad it is so late. I wonder how FoxNoise can put a Pro-BushCo spin on this.

It's not just the Republicans who are moving further away from the center. I have been saying for some time now that the two major parties are becoming increasingly polarized, leaving the majority of Americans voting for the lesser of two evils.

If the trend continues, it wouldn't surprise me to see a viable third party develop, a more moderate one.
