Republicans in name only
Re “GOP facing a rebellion on the right,” Nov. 3
Describing people like Dede Scozzafava as a “moderate Republican” is disingenuous. She’s a liberal on almost every issue.
The GOP rebellion is led by those rejecting the left’s attempt to undermine their party with liberal Democrats who pose as Republicans.
News stories imply these core believers are extremists -- but these are accusations by a media that for decades have been in the pocket of Democrats and supported radical agendas.
Consider the following alternative scenario: How would liberals feel if the Democratic Party had pro-life candidates who supported the war on terror, reduced taxes, voted against bailouts, didn’t want government healthcare and saw the United Nations as a threat to American sovereignty?
