> where do we go with all this? we need to be centrists.
Here's how I felt about that one morning before my coffee, and before
the election:
'If you can ignore right-wing hate radio for a while, it becomes clear
that the true centrists in this country are Democrats -- not the "moderate
Republicans" who are blackmailed by their own party into supporting the
far-right Bush agenda. Even Nixon would've been considered a leftie by
the current administration.
As for me, I long for a world with the Greens on one end of the axis,
Libertarians on the other, and Democrats still in the center -- with
today's Republicans way off in wacko land where they belong. In that
world, I'd almost surely be just a little left of moderate.'
My theories have shifted a bit since I wrote that (for one thing I don't
want to associate ideas with parties anymore), but it still sounds good.
*grin*
I guess my point here, and in my last message, is that in order to be
considered centrists we have to redefine the center.
