That should be the name for third wayers....yellow armadillo Democrats. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #1

We're going to need a new word anyway, since "Third Way" / "Corporate" are going to be verboten word JonLeibowitz Jun 2016 #2

Republicans? Yurovsky Jun 2016 #32

Only fools play sports or games in the middle of a road. nt Autumn Jun 2016 #14

good thing we're talking about fields wyldwolf Jun 2016 #24

Clearly, you're not a hockey player. Chan790 Jun 2016 #19

Then go with the 43% number if it suits you. My point is still 100% valid. Scuba Jun 2016 #18

Really? Thanks for the info. Nt NCTraveler Jun 2016 #35

And it has never served the greater cause of change Ken Burch Jun 2016 #41

HRC has been many things...but she has never been on the left. Ken Burch Jun 2016 #42

Yellow line road kill, and 'its stinkin to high heaven' floppyboo Jun 2016 #30

You realize that your analogy is totally irrelevant, right? nt eastwestdem Jun 2016 #34
