Mooseketeers, please hear the Moose out before you click away into cyberspace. A decade ago, the Moose recalls sitting in meetings with Gingrich, Norquist, Reed and other once-revolutionaries plotting against an ossified liberal establishment. Our complaint was that the Congressional Democrats were devoid of ideas and their goal was to hold onto power at all cost.
