Coincidently, my very first post EVER on the internet was in response to the rage that I felt when I read Heather Mallicks despicable attack against Palin and her All-American, endearingly flawed, but beautiful family. Up until that point, I had NEVER written anything more than required schoolwork, personal letters, and extremely esoteric and dessicated research papers. Obviously, the Mallick attack had such a profound affect on me that I had to end my silence and protest in the best way available to me, with a computer portal to the world. It's nice to know that my small but passionate voice is sometimes heard. Thanks MWC, I sometimes wonder if my posts go mostly unnoticed.

Hey, I'm sure you're wearing that button that says, "TAX PEOPLE WHO WORK AND GIMME SOME OF THEIR MONEY" I'm not a fan of those who aren't in office, but apparently idiots like you hang on to them and blame them for everything that your "Obamessiah" does.

Where was that poll taken, the Democratic Underground? The Repubs kicked ASS in two BLUE states tonight, and it won't stop until you Marxists are kicked out of office. You losers are being exposed, and it won't stop here. Bill Clinton and Hillary were great leaders, and you morons picked a guy who wants to destroy America. You don't think people are paying attention? You are an IDIOT! Hilarious!!! Where was that poll taken, the Democratic Underground?

But the GOP is not dead. They kicked ASS tonight and people like me, who pay attention and go to "tea parties" are not amused. Lorac, you are a whiner and think you "own" the internet and have control over opposition. You've told others that I am abrasive. Who the fuck are YOU? The thought police? Oh, I forget, you probably love Obama....nuf said...... That wasn't a personal attack, it was an attact on facts. Grow a spine, and fight for this country, not your ""mature" views(which sound like you are some high schooler).

Their practices simply don't match their rhetoric. Their selective tax cuts and methodical deregulation have resulted in the great bulk of the nation's wealth having concentrated in the hands of a very few. What are the figures now? 5% holding 95%? The bottom 60% holding less than 1/2%? And the struggling middle class pretty much left holding an empty bag... Yet any direct, honest talk of bumping up taxes on the wealthiest by a few percentage points to help pay for reasonable and beneficial social policy is immediately painted as Marxist? Any regulatory intervention in corporate and financial systems clearly set up to further enrich the wealthiest without regard for the general economic consequences to the nation as a whole represents a socialist power grab? How could anyone who's been paying close attention since the Reagan years <em>not</em> be skeptical of the rhetoric from the right? Their past real world <em>practices</em> are a big part of what has brought us to the place we find ourselves. The way I see it, the middle ground is <em>about</em> course corrections. The middle ground discussion isn't about <em>whether</em> things should have changed or not, but <em>to what degree</em>. If the republicans don't want democrats running the show, they should wake up to that fact and begin participating in the real discussion. Reasonable people would listen to them again.

We need to define what the middle IS. The middle NOW, does not resemble in any way what the middle was 40 years ago. For decades, the "middle" has been drifting leftward, along with the entire political spectrum, until this last election when it took a quantum leap to the far left as it was dragged along with Obama's Marxist army. With this dramatic shift however, the political paradigm has not been adequately adjusted. Today's progressive liberal is yesterday's radical Marxist. Today's centrist, is yesterday's liberal, and yesterday's Goldwater conservative, is today's loony right wing fringe. So when the Obamunists implore right wingers to move to the middle, they're really asking them to jettison traditional conservative principles, and adopt a statist approach. When good compromises with evil, evil gains and good is damaged. When the right compromises with the left, the right loses and the left wins. And yes, I DO equate the left with evil and the right with good. If I didn't, I would obviously have to withdraw from the debate, as I would lack a solid personal position from which to procede.

It presently seems to me that the democrats are far more likely to return to the middle ground than the republicans, who seem to have lost sight of America as a collective and cooperative endeavor.

I see it as a way for them to try to further control the people. Unfortunately, people get divided on these issues instead of the truly important ones. If you start this "realist" party, let me know and I will sign up! Ferd,
