Why do I get the feeling she's never seen the inside of a church? Smug little be-ach. Hey, Lucia- here's you're freakin' moderate after he pulled out of the church parking lot.

Being a moderate gets you no respect. If you’re a middle-of-the-road Democrat, you may as well be a Republican to more liberal party members. If you’re a progressive Republican – and not pining for a Ron Paul ReLOVEution – you are probably used to getting sideways glances at church.
Being a centrist is actually more enlightened than die-hards would have us. It seeks to strike balance, acknowledging the political needs of all those affected. Liberals, in their fondness for diversity, are quick to cut a corner or two to leave no minority behind. That’s unless that minority is the 47 percent of Americans who voted Republican in an election and lost. “Ha!” they think. “Ban NASCAR, rehabilitate non-recyclers and universalize that health care, it’s payback time!”

The only thing in the middle of the road is yellow lines and dead skunks.
Navel-gaze and celebrate your enlightenment, I guess.
Just like all the other moderates.
Well, guess what, Lucia. There's a reason for that. It's because you really don't deserve much.

A “centrist” is one without the guts to take a position.
Actually, the main thing going down the middle of the road is the majority of people in their autos. Meanwhile, on the sidewalks, it is the extremists who are striding (or in the case of Leftists, “jogging”) along.
Neither of them realise the people in the middle are going a lot faster than they are.
Did anyone actually read her article? It’s not that bad.
Freerepublic needs an enema.
Really? From the comments on this thread centrists must have a lot of guts, judging by the fire from draw from both sides.
Stay home on November 4th.
Agreed.

Is that not wholly so? Liberals love to respect the rights of everyone (except those who disagree with them).
Screw the political needs of socialsts. They can move to Laos.
To paraphrase a great American, moderation in patriotism is no virtue.
Exactly what we've been saying for years. If you're a middle-of-the-road democrat, vote for McCain. He was made for you. You are what he's pandering to.
Oxymoron. Probably without the "oxy."
Reminds me of some of the great lines in American history, uttered by patriotic moderates:
1. Give me liberty or give me a corned beef sandwich.
2. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that some men are created equal.
3. One if by land, two if by sea, three if I can't figure it out.
4. Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask for the TV Guide.
5. Mr. Gorbachev, spackle this wall!
The only things a moderate believes in is better and cheaper bigger government, which is impossible, and slower and honorable surrender to foreign enemies, which is dangerous.
What’s a Patriotic Moderate to Do?
The first thing Lucia is to put down the bong and step away from your breakfast of tofu salad.
And what is a 'Patriotic Moderate' anyway? One who believes in only a little bit of victory in a war? Or that we only need 'some' of our rights protected? Or maybe that a 'little bit' of communism is okay.
And not that I care, but Lucia have you ever been 'only a little bit' pregnant? That's 'moderate', no?
'Moderates' (harrumph). What are they good for - absolutely nothing.

Tells me all I need to know about soi-disant moderates. They are crypto-socialists.
Direct hit.
