[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I would argue that the last 7 1/2 and whatever Clinton manages to pull out are all right of center. The most controversial think Obama was able to implement was Bob Dole and Mitt Romney's healthcare plan.

Bah. If you believe that, you aren't paying attention to just how radical the right wingers have become.

Obama is a left of center moderate. So are both Clintons. That's where most of the country is, so that's why they win elections.

The only way for the Republicans to win elections is to become a truly center-right party, and wait for America to reach its tipping point and swing slightly back to the right. This far-right bullshit will never on a national stage. When was the last time America elected someone we knew was truly far-right or far-left? I can't think of a single example going back to WW2. I'm too lazy to think through every President from before the War, but I'd bet there is no true non-centrist in the bunch a going back to at least the Civil War. [/quote]

I'm a right of center moderate, and I agree most with this. The far-right is pulling TOO hard. They're alienating everyone else in the name of principle. Dems have this problem too but they keep it as minimal as possible. Bernie came close to pulling too hard, but we all know why DWS was put in place. To keep that from happening so dems would win. It's smart. Tea party won't get it. Theyee cliche-ing up everything. Throwing the baby out, shooting their own foot. [/quote]
