Classical Liberal
Just curious.
This could be an interesting discussion.
People would probably be interested in defining "Centrist".
Also, you might want to count in the personality factor. Were a really well known American to decide to take an independent run for the White House, would you support that person?
Why not just vote for a toaster or a doorknob?
Mickey Mouse for Mayor!
What is a centrist anyway, some kind soap or underarm deodorant?
A string of policies, a string of peals?
A laundry list?
A stream of banalities?
Tell me what.
Tell me how.
Tell me why.
What's wrong with "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"?
How about we rally around that? What do you say? Got something better? Something bolder? Something fresh? Something new? Really? What could you have that's worth dying for?
What's wrong with liberty?
Got some?
"Can I get an L? Alright, folks, I got an L. Can I get an i? Don't be shy. I got an L. Can I get an i? There she is. I got an i. I need a b. Who's got the b? The man with the plan in the corner has got a b. Sweet. I got Lib once. Can I hang an e on it? Come on folks, we're almost there. Daddy needs an e. Ding! Ding! There it is. I got an e to hang on L-i-b. Give me an r. Just one time me an r, folks. There she blows! Now give ol' Good Golly his Molly. Where's that t? I need a t now. Give me a t. There it is! I got t for two. I got Libert. Throw me a y. Don't make me cry. Throw that bone. Doggy needs his bone. Come on now. I got Libert once. I got Libert twice. Last chance, boys, Mr. Bojangles needs a y. Lord, have mercy, I got a y. Now put it all together, and tell me what that spells."
"Liberty!"
"That's right. Say it again."
"Liberty!"
"Now that's nice. Real nice."
