I read with some degree of sadness Senator Lindsey Graham’s comments about his fear of the Republican Party driving away moderates, if it continues going right. He used Mr. Hoffman’s defeat in New York to bolster his point. Well, I beg to differ.
Someone once said “if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.” I believe moderates ultimately don’t stand for something. Back home, anything in the middle of the road gets run over. Mr. Graham’s logic is flawed when it comes to Mr. Hoffman because the real victory is that such an unknown was only defeated by five percentage points, which by the way was the same amount of points garnered by the Republican candidate who gave her support to guess who? The Democrat.
Mr. Graham, I believe anyone who betrays his convictions for acceptance will at minimum be disrespected and at maximum rejected. I am disgusted with Republicans who go to the state house or to Washington forgetting the values of their electorate. Even hypocrites respect a person of convictions. I have discovered that people seem to better recognize reality as they grow older. That’s why a large number of people over 50 are conservatives, they understand a few things:
1-You cannot spend more money than you make
2-Babies come from the union of a man and woman
3-Government works for us
4-When water is dispersed into the wind, someone gets wet
The people who built this great nation went all out. The people who fought WWI and WWII went all out. They had no moderate view of victory…last man left standing wins. Why should we do and accept any less? If we do, moderate will ultimately become right and left will become moderate.
By the way…Mr. Hoffman, we are so proud of you!
