As a moderate that still remains committed to our party (the party that Lincoln and Barry G created)

What do Abraham Lincoln, Barry Goldwater, and centrism have in common? Huh

Barry stated before his death that the party went way too far right and that was back in 98.

Which is pretty funny, considering he opened the door for the racists and lunatics back in 1964. He wanted a conservative party, and he got one...

DeMint is certainly a social conservative, but he doesn't run around with a holier than thou attitude wearing his morality on his sleeve, does he?

I guess DeMint's "single mothers shouldn't be allowed to teach" position doesn't count.

Now, the fact that he broke 40% in a nat. race (Pres/Senatorial) in MA and against Kennedy?  That's impressive.  I will say that.

... in 1994, and people thought it was going to be a lot closer.

Now defending Romney as a man of principle who sticks to his guns--that's "original and intellectually challenging", to put it nicely.
