Centrists, eh? In whose opinion?
Jeez the media bugs me the way they throw around labels (of course, no one is a "terrorist" ever.)
a "centrist" to the LATimes would be called STALIN here in the south!
That sounds goofy. Define the groups.
The only thing in the middle of the road are yellow lines and roadkill.
This article confirms that the Democratic Party has few if any centrists left amongst its ranks. Democrats are so proudly united in opposition to Bush, they do not sense that they are constantly inching away from the center and dooming their political fate. The knee-jerk opposition from Democrats is so automatic, I sometimes wonder if Bush took the opposite stance of what he wanted, he would get 100% Democrat support of his desired position. With the GOP "in on it", you could pass anything in the Senate. I'm being facetious of course, but this knee-jerk reflex on the Left should be exploited.
that's enough to make you gag, huh?
"centrist".
and they wonder why they lost the election.
The easy political response to this objection is to make private accounts voluntary. My guess is that the overwhelming majority of people under 40 would switch with two years.
They oppose reforms because they hate President Bush #1 and #2 its something they want a Democratic President to get credit for. Its all about politics.
