In our 200 year history, we have relied on moderates of both parties to find the middle ground. That was how politics was done, come in with extreme positions and then have your moderates work out a deal
In America today, moderates cower in fear and meekly shrug..."What can I do?". Moderates fear that they will be driven from their party if they do not toe the extremist line. Compromise used to be a sign of intelligence and maturity...now it is a sign of weakness
There are no win-win situations anymore. Win-win means the other side also wins so it is looked at as defeat.
It is time for moderates of both parties to take back control of their parties. Our government no longer functions and every minor decision requires a filibuster proof majority.
Come on moderates......Grow a set of balls
I don't understand how one can be moderate...
So breaking the constitution is only OK some of the time?
That would make moderates, actually progressive.
In my book you either stand for a man/womans civil liberties or you don't, if you're in the middle you're fucking confused - that or don't know your rights or constitution.
Our Constitutional values are in better shape than at any time in the last 200+ years. Americans have more freedom than at any time in our history
Really? You need to look at how the drug laws have abrogated your civil rights there fella. The average citizen was more free to do as they pleased up until the year 1910, after that the Federal Government began its inexorable and avaricious appropriation of our rights and properties.
