I tried reading the article, but all I heard was a high-pitched whistling sound coming from his vagina.

Yes, it is centrist...centered between the Socialist and Communist Party...

Maxine Waters is the Ranking Member and would be the Chairman of the powerful banking committee if the Dems win control of the House - that would be some serious “centrist” governance right there.

I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and crap out a more cogent article.

Yeah - we’ve been watching what them “centrists’ do and how they attack the innocent and exhort their followers to become martyrs for their cause because it’s easier to get away with bloodshed after you’ve caused the enemy to shed the blood of your drudges...they are so ‘centrist” that even some of their radicals are thinking they’ve gone too far.

From inside the New York bubble, I guess they would consider the Democrats as being in the center.

He really should get out of New York more often to see the real world

Might have point - after all there is nothing but a yellow line and roadkill down the center of the road.

The first step toward recovery is too put down the crack pipe, friend. Hell, the R's are too far left to be called centrists, and the Dems are going to have to change their name to the BC party for Bat..it Crazy.

Nope. Yours is too accurate to be considered outlandish.

I’ve never seen one of their ads. However, I did see the Kavanaugh hearings. I saw statesmen on one side and petulant children on the other. And you can guess which is which.

No, actually, based on his article, I very seriously doubt that he can.

We sometimes forget that compromising with bad policy is like adding sewage to your drinking water.

Exactly. Compromising with normal people means each party gets something they want THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE. "Compromising" with a leftist means that they do in fact get something they want, but in exchange, you don't have to give up as much as they would like to take. It's just a given that the change from SQA is all in their favor and the compromising is only about HOW MUCH. The ratchet only clicks in one direction for them.

I once read an analogy that it was like 'sharing' a cake you owned with someone. You agree to split it 50/50 and give them half. But then they come back and want half of your half, then half of what you have left after that, and so on. Eventually, they have the entire cake, which was originally yours, and you have been given NOTHING in exchange.
