Changes

Republicans who support traditional conservative positions on social issues but not on economic issues are not typically described as moderate Republicans.  For example, in the 2000 Republican presidential primaries [[Gary Bauer]] called for an increase in the minimum wage, opposed Social Security reform, and called for curtailed free trade, especially with China.  Yet, he was not considered a moderate Republican.
