Care to make a wager on your Romney statement? |
I watched a republican congresswoman on t.v. and she was talking about increasing the size of the republican tent by being willing to accept a canidate who departs from the traditional beliefs of the republican base on one or two issues. She said as it is now, there is a litmus test for republican national canidates: they have to be anti-abortion, they can't endorse expanded health care, they can't accept gay marriage, they have to take a hard line on immigration, they can't be pro-labor, etc, etc.
But when pressed for which issue it would be ok to moderate on, she would not name one - probably out of fear that another republican would run against her in a primary for doing so.
