Moderate Republicans do exist, sort of

When I searched www.gop.com for material for another entry, I came across the Moderate Republcans group.  It has only 11 members since 2009-11-19, the eleventh joining today (not me).  It has only three entries, one being an announcement for the candidacy of Colonel Oliver Wimbledon Pepper IV Esq. for President in 2012.

I think the originator of the group had more serious purposes: "A group that has no set view on issues. We view a majority of the Republican Platform favorably. A minority of views, we may differentiate, but we all find ourselves between the far-right conservatives and centrist political spectrum."

If you're tired of the choice between the Republicans who dream of a country that never existed and the Democrats who dream of a country that will never be, maybe you should drop in on this group to give the more serious members some encouragement.
