Funny... i think someone ascribed that quote to Margaret Thatcher earlier in the thread... But I digress.

I think it's a legitimate question. And I think centrists are legitimate people who vote and voted in force in the midterms. So do you deal with them or not?

Love the Will Rogers quote, accurate IMO! Going to save it.

The idea, and it always seems to be an idea put forward by a leftist, of the center being an acceptable compromise between Left and Right is wrong. First, while the principles of the Left are clearly defined, the principles of the Right are not in America. They include the entire spectrum from libertarianism to the Religious Right, and often overlap. But the original guiding principles of America and the Constitution are very clearly defined and there can be no compromise between them and leftist principles. Because to compromise on those means a significant shift leftwards. In other words a victory for the Left. Each compromise that follows means another shift leftwards, another victory for leftists.

At least that's the way I see it.
