scattered around the middle

What's the 'middle'????

[jeremiah]

The right-middle-left spectrum of politics, is a farce, always has been, always will be. Any true political spectrum, would have total govt on the left, which includes Hitler, Soviet Union, the Ayatollah, and Castro.....On the right, you have anarchy. Our system of govt was set up to be as close to anarchy as possible, with as small a govt as possible to keep the peace. So while the parties are fighting for the so called middle, what they are all doing is crowding towards the left, whether Republican or Democrat.
