The American public is moving left, following the cloud on the horizon made by the Democrats in their flight to total socialism.

The Republicans have charged ahead of the herd, in order to declare themselves leaders.

The speed at which both parties are moving left, makes the public appear to be moving right, but they are just slower than the government in their drift to socialism.

You have pointed out the sad story about lack of leadership. A proper steward would be able to convince the American public to move to the right, not to the left. Bush is simply sticking his finger to the wind and doing what the public wants to stay in office. As Churchill said, "Lack of consensus is not an excuse for lack of leadership."

"The American public is moving left, following the cloud on the horizon made by the Democrats in their flight to total socialism. "

The rep party shifted to the center, and the Dems shifted to 'progressivism'.

In other words, there are two new parties: The Socialist Democrats and the Liberal Republicans.

This is the reality.
