Where are the allegedly "moderate Republicans"?? Are they simply on bended knee to

[Evolve Dammit]

The Orange Boy and Putin by extension? The silence is a chilling warning to where they are, IMHO. Orange Boy has essentially shut down Congress via a dozen enablers and cash from?

[Elessar Zappa]

1. They're a mythical creature at this point.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. media created mythical creature I suppose. Another misnomer, like "conservative."...

[Marius25]

2. No such thing as a moderate Republican.

[Evolve Dammit]

4. I hate to go there, but recognize they may have all drank the Kool-Aid. Like 1930's Germany.

[rurallib]

15. If they haven't drunk the Kool-aid they are beholden to the bucks

and fear alienating the Trumpers cause they need those votes

[Chainfire]

3. I guess they are the ones who don't swallow.

[Evolve Dammit]

6. Please explain

[leftieNanner]

16. Please stop with the homophibic remarks. nt

5. There are no moderate Republicans.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Kinzinger and Cheney are. There may be others?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. Kinzinger and Cheney are sane, but not moderate.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. in todays climate I think they are rational and dedicated to the Constitution.

[Autumn]

13. Dedicated to the Constitution does not make them moderates.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. I would say it is "better" than those that don't??

[JHB]

14. They're dedicated to the Bush doctrine: "...as long as I'm the dictator"

They want the Constitution as a fig leaf, not torn up the way Trump does.

In congress, both of them voted in lock-step with the MAGAts.

You know Trump's recent "Democrats want abortions after the baby is born" malarkey? Liz has said the same. If she believes it, she's not rational, and if she doesn't, she's just a deplorable with a different brand of seasoning.

18. I fear you are correct and it is crushing my 60's (and 70's) idealism.

[IA8IT]

9. Joni "The Obedient" Ernst palling around with DeSantis. BRILLIANT MOVE

Her Rubber Stamp Senate Leadership makes me nuts

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. There aren't any. They vote as 1 solid block.

Where does this idea of a moderate come from?

[Evolve Dammit]

23. media label, like "conservative?"

[RockRaven]

12. Out of office and/or the party...

I feel like Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch would be appropriate here. Michael Palin is the MSM/cable news, "moderate Republicans" are the parrot (obviously), and John Cleese is everyone who has been paying the slightest bit of attention for the past decade or so.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. good analogy

[Wonder Why]

17. Still hiding in caves waiting for Trump to be gone so they can say they didn't support him.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. yeah. willing enablers and too fucking scared of the MAGAT base to utter a peep.
