The Hill ^ | October19,2010 | Shane D’Aprile

Independents, who are the largest bloc of undecided voters and are vital to Democrats if the party is to retain its House majority, are also unconvinced by warnings about extremism. Only 14 percent of them said they would vote for a Democrat to avoid electing an extreme right-wing candidate; 11 percent said they would vote Republican to avoid electing an extreme left-wing candidate.

...an extreme left-wing candidate.

Has Big Media defined them yet? How about the rookie Hussein?

Have them pick from a list a several positions on 42 different issues to define what “moderate”, “far left”, “far right”, etc. mean to them.

They probably think that Bill Gates is conservative because he’s rich.

Real CHANGE is on the way!! 14 black republican candidates; 129 republican women house candidates, and 17 Republican women running for senate!

Let’s really shake things up, and put people in power, who have never been their before!

Bernard Sanders (an Independent of the Socialist Party) is probably not “far left” in their worldview.

Barack Obama’s voting record in the Senate is to the Left of Bernard Sanders.

^There. Never been there, before. My grandmother would hit me with a ruler if she could see that!

We NEED EXTREME citizens! Please people, be a poll watcher. Watch them count the ballots....it is your right, and your duty; do not allow these elections to be stolen from us; cuz they are going to try! These early elections are prime ground for cheating. Make sure the number of ballots counted, matches the number in the poll book.

That's correct. According to what I've gathered over the years, the impeached (yet perverted hero) Bubba *Squirt was darn near a Republican. The rookie Hussein hasn't delivered full blown socialism so HE could be some right wing plant.

Nothing will satisfy the commie leftists until Putin is put in charge - and even after that, the bitchin' won't stop.

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

Maybe most voters have figured out that the people who commonly use “extreme” to describe others, use it for anyone who disagrees with them.

I would think that if someone wanted a cheeseburger, and didn’t eat one often or had been deprived one because of location or diet, that they might crave an “extrreeeme cheeseburger” to compensate.

Dems have used the word “extremism” so flippantly that the word no longer has meaning.
