IT'S THE QUEEREST THING....:

Social conservatives fight for control of Republican Party: The right flank is positioning to change the GOP's leadership and direction -- even if John McCain wins the presidency. Some moderates fear such a shift would alienate more voters. (Peter Wallsten, October 28, 2008, LA Times)

The social conservatives and moderates who together boosted the Republican Party to dominance have begun a tense battle over the future of the GOP, with social conservatives already moving to seize control of the party's machinery and some vowing to limit John McCain's influence, even if he wins the presidency.

...when Ronald Reagan, the GOP Senate class of 1980, the Republican revolutionaries of 1994, and W established GOP dominance all we ever heard was that they were social conservative extremists. But now the neocons and the MSM want us to believe that the secret to their success was that they were selling moderation?
