Does anyone else take offense at the term “ultraconservative” for someone who holds traditional, principalled values?
As if there is something wrong with a person who holds those views!?

That’s what gets liberals like Bubba the fornicator Clintoon and Oblahblah the Kenyan to claim that they are “Centrists”???

That’s lunacy!

Bob Dole came up in an age when they incorrectly portrayed the American political spectrum as a normal curve with a small left wing, a small right wing, and a large moderate center.

Goldwater was the first to deduce it actually consisted of two coalition parties vying for victory in single member districts. Accordingly, the coalition partners could be any sort of values group ~ so ideology didn't count as much as imagined.

Plus there was NO MIDDLE.

He's a tad elderly to deal with the new views, so he'll toddle off into his 90s looking for that large middle ~ that isn't there!
