you can tell the writer has never worked even one summer at a 31 Flavors (with a manager always after her to push the vanilla...)

‘www.nolabels.org’ is more like ‘www.noprinciples.org’.

I don’t see this happening anytime soon with the House of Representatives being liberal/conservative polarized, although if it did it would help Obama get re-elected.

“I’m passionate about apathy, and I vote!”

[Altura Ct.]

Moderate? Really? We need a dictionary to define what is really meant. Most of these so called moderates are anything but. As if destroying our culture & nation is moderate.

[SampleMan]

On one extreme you have people who want you to eat ice cream for desert.

On the other extreme you have people who want you to eat dog crap for desert.

The moderate/centrist wants you to eat half a bowl of each.

How does that moderation sound?

[Joe Boucher]

Leave it to the Washington Post to try to push this kind of B.S. even after the middle and left got hell beat out of it in this last election.

[Lazlo in PA]

This coming from the supposed Conservative voice on the "The John And The Whore Show". What a load. Screw you Parker. You are a phony Obummer cheerleader and deserve no respect.

[Little Ray]

No.
There is no “central” ground left. They want A, we want not-A, and there is no “sort-of A.”

[Elwood P. Doud]

Polarization is one reason our elections have been so bouncy for the past few cycles. There is a large group who don’t much care for either extreme, and pull the lever for “whoever we didn’t vote for last time.” Unfortunately, this leads to results as summed up in my tagline.

[Nonstatist]

There's little appealing about either party dominated by a base that bears little resemblance to who we are as a nation or the way most of us live our lives.

41% of Americans refer to themselves as conservative and only 20 % as liberal. That's good enough Kathleen. Take a seat and shut up.

Didn’t work too well in 2008.

A centrist is "the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot" of modern times.

[CrazyIvan]

How about a “center of mass” movement?

Dear Ms. Parker,

When you stand in the middle of the road, you get run over.

Understand?

[GenXteacher]

I was having a conversation with a liberal once. He asked, “well, where is the compromise?” and I replied, “My side has compromised to the point where we have nothing left to give up- the left has gotten everything it wants, just not as fast.” Moderation is for people who want to lose.

[subterfuge]

I think it’s an informal rule around here to put dipsh!t Parker’s name in the title so those of us who care will not soil our minds with her drivel. Either that or a Barf Alert will do.

And being “centrist” to any moronic liberal like Kathee means being just to the left of Al Gore.

I’ll pass, thanks.
