The United States is a moderate nation [ZOT!]

Posted on 08/24/2014 6:55:42 PM PDT by C43

Why do we keep electing extremists in the primaries?

Obama is 100 percent liberal and McCain and Romney are 100 percent conservative. Most Americans are near 50/50. I'm hoping in 2016 moderates instead of extremists are nominated. People can't just be divided up into liberal and conservative. Most are in between. One person might be pro life but pro gay marriage. Another might be anti gun but anti tax. Very very very few are liberal or conservative on everything yet most elected officials are. Why?

I love it when people include their IQ in their screen name.

Moderates are an invertebrate species; they have no backbone, that’s why we call them squishy.
That being said, anyone that thinks that Romney or McCain are conservative are hard Leftists or seriously uninformed.

At this point, disease and drugs have taken their punishing toll on dear DannyH.
He no longer is capable of separating reality from hallucinatory delusion.
He really does believe there is a spycam in his showerhead, broadcasting his shortcomings to the world ala The Truman Show.
And the giggling mind squirrels?
He thinks they are his friends, much like the forest animals in Sleeping Beauty.
A fine future in wild animal gastronomics awaits our poor syphilitic and stoned DannyH.

That was the first thing I noticed too. I Obama is 100% liberal then Romney should be around 90%.

I am not sure if liberal and criminal are the exact same thing. If not, then Obama is 50% criminal and 50% liberal, which makes Romney more liberal than Obama.

“Time for moderates to show some backbone.”

That’s what we would call a “moderate extremist.”

Persistent, flatulent, incontinent, not housebroken.
Many things apply.
One must wonder what goes on in that head that he comes here simply to amuse us?
How lacking in dignity, self respect, and basic humanity must one be to repeatedly show up simply to get dunked headfirst in a loo and swirlied?
He must be severely masochistic.

And completely retarded. How could someone who is 100% conservative (assuming that could even be measured) be elected Governor of a very left wing state like Massachusetts? The author is a nut.

Your surmise fell apart in the second sentence. If you think Romney and McCain are 100 0/0 conservative, you obviously don’t have a clue what a conservative is.

McCain and Romney are NOT 100% conservative. The difference between them and what is laughingly called moderates in the Deomorat’s Party is practically zip.

I’ll agree that obama is an extreme - the most far left person ever elected as far as I can tell.

Seriously? McCain and Romney are liberal democrats with a small r once in a blue moon.

You need help, if you do not understand this.

Semi-literate sentence fragments tend to give it away.

I picked my nose once, and it bleeded.
I mean, bled.
Y’all come back now, ya hear?
Don’t be a strangler.
I mean, stranger.

I have a nice saucer of milk for the kitties. I bet this Zot is going to make em hungry.....

For the moderators, I have chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. Chips are melting. Zotting is tough work.

OK, you are a plant. Just cannot decide if you are a cactus, a shrub, an algae, or just a common fungus. Bromeliad maybe?
