I join you solidly in the middle. I, too, get a bit annoyed with so many on the extreme right as well as the extreme left trying to hijack the political system. When the First Lady can't make jokes at a dinner where that is the primary purpose without being attacked, enough is enough! With all the sensitivity claimed by so many (either real or feigned) should we just give up on humor completely?!?! Humor is one of the few ways to defuse uncomfortable situations....I don't know how people can get through life without a sense of humor! To those who can't put things like this in perspective, get over yourselves!!
The frustrating thing is that it is apparently impossible to say I wish she hadn't said something without being accused of attacking. That's sad.

My family used to call me Atilla the Hun so this move to the middle has them stunned. If it's moved me to the middle, I can only imagine the number of staunchly conservative voters our party may be losing. It's an unintended consequence and one that I hope doesn't bode ill for the Republicans in the future.
We were well on the way to being a Big Tent party and that day seems to be over.
