Is it a road to victory to refuse to moderate? Isn't most of America in the middle? Or is Cheney like so many others in denial over the failure of his philosophy?

In an interview with the California newspaper The Visalia Times-Delta, Huckabee said the GOP would only further decline in influence should it alienate social conservatives — largely considered the most energetic and loyal faction of the party.
"Throw the social conservatives the pro-life, pro-family people overboard and the Republican party will be as irrelevant as the Whigs," he said in reference to the American political party that largely disbanded in the mid 1800s.
But unless you throw them overboard there simply is NO WAY to broaden your appeal. It is that faction alone that turns off a lot of voters especially city dwellers which you cannot win an election without. Sounds lose lose to me."Throw the social conservatives the pro-life, pro-family people overboard and the Republican party will be as irrelevant as the Whigs," he said in reference to the American political party that largely disbanded in the mid 1800s.
