quote [ The centrist Pennsylvania Republican was already part of a record number of GOP lawmakers who weren't running for re-election in November, but on Tuesday Dent announced he would step down soon. ]
Too bad - he's actually a decent sort congressman, works with all sides, and pretty sane in in policies. I'm of the mindset that we actually need conservatism as a counterpart to liberalism to make our system work correctly. Although we don't need the racist, crazy variety we are stuck with at the moment.

Funny thing - the Democratic Party is more conservative than the Republican Party is now. At least they seem to believe in preserving our institutions, upholding institutional norms and progressing in a moderate, deliberative manner based on policy analysis.
The GOP has been moving away from it's roots ever since Reagan.
And with the tea party infusion of the past few years, the GOP that has currently taken over Congress is widely composed of bunch post-policy nihilists, who are attempting to radically dismantle said institutions and norms without regard to the consequences.
