I hear you there. The left never comes right. The right always move left.

I believe in a "ratchet" model...it creeps to the left, but is not able to go back to the right. Eventually, after too far to the left, there's a correction...we can hope.

"ratchet" model...

I can see that. A conditioning, so to speak.

All I can say is that I am sick and tired of giving to the reds. I really want to defend my ground. But they give me this scare tactic. Either you get lefty Hussein or the RINO McCain. Sure, I will vote McCain because I don't want no hard core commie badword in the White House. But I aint giving my money to McCain or the RNC.

That makes sense. You might consider that this election might be a correction to the left from the Bush corruption of what 'right' means.

You might also consider that the continuous left drift might be the growing disparity between upper and lower incomes forcing the lower to rely more on government than on private industry for economic well-being.
