Now that an albatross sporting a blond comb-over hangs from the neck of the Republican Party, isn’t it time for moderate politicians in the Grand Old Party to set themselves apart? To be sure, Republican moderates are few, but by virtue of integrity and rationality they are an important part of American politics. Accordingly, it […]
