It isn't often that this old Democrat can feel anything but contempt for anyone so unenlightened that they would profess to being a member of the republican party. But lately, with the rise of the bigoted crazies who claim to speak for the republican party, I'm beginning to feel some sympathy for those folks, like Colin Powell, who still try to lay claim to Being moderate Republicans. Even I can vaguely remember san occasional vote for the likes of Leveret Saltonstall or Frank Sergeant back in the day when moderate Republicans can and did get elected when I lived in Massachusetts. Those were the days when a moderate republican was maybe a better choice than a machine democrat steeped in the ways of cronyism and ward politics. As we are seeing right now on the national stage, the days of turning to a moderate republican to find a middle course on which to steer the ship of state are long gone.
