Why moderates are so often bad news

[dawg]

63. What passes as "moderate" today was considered radical just a few short years ago.

There's nothing moderate about proposing cuts to Social Security benefits.

There's nothing moderate about proposing an increase in the Medicare age from 65 to 67.

There's nothing moderate about proposing severe spending cuts while unemployment continues to be high and the economy has not fully recovered.

There's nothing moderate about telling women what they can do with their own bodies.

There's nothing moderate about discriminating against people because of innate characteristics they were born with.

There's nothing moderate about making unaffordable tax cuts permanent for people making up to $400,000 a year and then cutting food stamps because ..... deficit!

The Third-Way, Pete Peterson, Fix the Debt, Bowels-Simpleton, and any Democrats or Republicans who hold these positions, are not moderates

They just call themselves that.
