Time for Militant Moderates to Step Up
RECEIVED Thu., Dec. 1, 2005
Dear Editor,
Hurrah for you, John Romano [“Postmarks,” Dec. 2], but don't just resign yourself to it – get mad! Out here in Northwest Austin I'm the militant moderate. A pox on extremists at both ends of the political spectrum. But especially a pox on the hard-core, right-wing, moronic thieves who have stolen our Republican Party. Their phony self-righteous arrogance is positively insufferable. You should tell them that at every opportunity and at the top of your lungs. I do. They will continue to ride herd over our party until people like you and me rise up and take it back from them. Vote for moderates from either party. We found one in District 50 in Democrat Mark Strama. Now some simple-minded right-winger thinks he can unseat Strama. Not while I have the strength to lift a fist in protest. Fight back. Tell Tom DeLay, Alan Sager, John Cornyn, and even George Bush that we are the real Republicans and they are just thieves.
