No, it's time for the real moderates of the Republican Party to reassert
themselves instead of cravenly caving in to the radical right leaders
they've had for the past twenty-five years.

We're witnessing the complete collapse and failure of the
Gingrich/Delay/Cheney wing of the party.  Let's see if there's any left
standing ready to pick up the pieces and reinvent themselves.  There was a
time when it was even possible to talk of Republican *liberals*.  But that
was a long, long time ago.  Perhaps those days will come back.
