Every once in the while, a letter gets printed in the Los Angeles Times that should be shouted from the rooftops.
Behold, Pat Murphy of Pacific Palisades calls out the MSM on the "moderate Republican" title being misapplied:
Describing people like Dede Scozzafava as a "moderate Republican" is disingenuous. She's a liberal on almost every issue…Consider the following alternative scenario: How would liberals feel if the Democratic Party had pro-life candidates who supported the war on terror, reduced taxes, voted against bailouts, didn't want government healthcare and saw the United Nations as a threat to American sovereignty?
Thank you, Pat.
There are liberals who are Republicans, because parties are about power and networking and pooling resources, and some people think they have an advantage, for whatever reason, in a party that has been dominated by a philosophy different than theirs. Let's not try to disguise Leftists as moderates.
