Oct 2013

two step before the kick. Nov 15 and it all starts again?

Why is it that 'Moderate Centrists' in the Third Way Branch of the DNC are unable to corral their counterparts Moderates in the GOP? We hear on DU all the time that the 'Moderates' can not stand Democratic liberals and see their allies as 'toward the Center' and liberals are often called 'the extreme' left and we are told that only the 'Moderates' can make super good deals for progress, which will always he hyper wise and crafted by genius hands to very slowly bring moderate change to America. But what we see is swift damage being done, no one speaking of the need to make changes slowly, overnight the whole nation is on the block. Moderates unable to broker a deal among themselves. Their 'bipartisan partnerships' are without value. Centrist nattering delivered us to this impasse where millions are suffering and not moderately either.
