As a rather extreme leftist, I don't see the "moderates", "centrists", "libertarians", "conservatives" as repuglycan plants. Just fellow Democrats who differ with my opinions on the direction of the party.
This is a Democratic Forum. There are those that want to insist that we all bow to the throne of "unity" and march lockstep to the voting booths without questioning the positions, actions, or words of the candidates. As much as I usually (about 99% of the time)disagree with the "moderates" I consider their arguments valuable even if I treat them with scorn. They are a part of the party and their attempt to move the party to the right deserves a hearing just as much as does the arguments of those of us on the left.
Or, as Will Rogers said, "I don't belong to an organized political party..I'm a Democrat."
