Where are the Rockefeller Republicans?
Where are the Rockefeller Republicans? These were Republicans, like former Vice President and New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller who were conservative but also saw the progressive need for a robust welfare state that did not punish the unfortunate. Recent vintages of the Grand Ole Party have moved beyond even the right wing positions of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. Why such meanness to lower middle and poorer classes who are not looking for handouts but for a ladder to climb up. Why take opportunities like that from people either by cutting community development grants or Planned Parenthood where women can get affordable medical care. This is not rational and is not right. We need more Rockefeller Republicans in the Grand Ole Party to lend a progressive stance.
