I could cut and paste your comment replacing 'right-winger' with 'left-winger' and it was exactly was what the Bushbots said about opposing speech.
You bring up an interesting point. Out there in America there are probably 10s of millions of centrist Americans who didn't vote, but have a POV. Where are they? And why don't they start a third party.
I have never seen so much vitriol in US politics than I have since the past 10 years. It seems the extreme left and right have hijacked politics and left the majority marginalised, which is shown by the poor turnout in the election...
good point Doc........i have been waiting for this group to wake up....and i dont know why they are still sleeping....but they had better soon,at least by the next election....
