America is STILL “center right” in its politics.

Reliable exit polling confirms that there has been no major shift in the way people view their own political ideology!

Obama got elected all right, but it wasn’t because the country has changed fundamentally from what it was four years ago.

Every time they don’t understand anything they tip their head, just like my dog does when I ask it a question, so things just look that way to them all the time.

Actually, the country isn’t shifting left so much as the GOP is going hard right, and we on the left are being dragged into the center.

Really? Good! Let the Right Wing Nut-Jobs spin themselves into obsolescence, shift the Left to the center, and bring in a REAL Left-Wing Party to keep those scumbag Fascist Democrats in check and fearing for their political lives!

This “center right nation” bullshit is nothing more than a mandatory Republican talking point. I can’t be the only person to have noticed that a week ago every single commentator on both Fox and CNN made a comment about being a center right nation on the very sakme day. This was NOT coincidence; it was what they were told to talk about for the day. That same day, Rush, Hannity and O’Reilly were saying it on the radio as well as television. These guys can’t stand the fact that they are out of power. They are going to have a very difficult time of it for a while. Tough shit – elections have consequences. One of those consequences this time is that they do not get to run things and call all the shots.

Dear Republican Party,
What happened to Country first? Why is it so important to lay claim to portions of the Contry while isolating and alienating other portions? Besides not keeping a single message straight, what ever happened to Country first?

Totally false argument, IMO. And a huge waste of valuable time.

Rather than learning from the overwhelming repudiation of their more extreme views, they are jettisoning all decency in what promises to be a witch hunt in the GOP ranks.

Yeah… but it couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch, huh?

Hmmm… methinks we might have the makings of a new reality TV series here…

Ah, another catch all word that has no meaning the way “right” and “left” have been twisted by eight years of Republican domination.

Is “incentive pay” right or left? It’s what our President elect wants to impose on health care. It will have the same distorting impact as executive stock options and CEO incentive compensation.

“Modernization” is euphemism for taking government functions and contracting them to the private sector. The assumption is a private company can do the same work cheaper. Add multiple layers of contractors, each with their profit requirements, and it suddenly becomes more expensive.

The lack of leadership is clear for two more months. It remains to be seen if President elect Obama will deliver on his campaign promises.

We know Bush delivered huge amounts of corporafornication for his base during his eight years in office. He leaves with a $4 trillion corporate looting of the Treasury & Federal Reserve Bank. Time will show how much makes it way back in taxpayer hands. Government welfare for businesses tends to be one way.

It’s a bit of a false argument. “America” hasn’t moved dramatically in any direction. The GOP, on the other hand, has devolved from conservatism to radicalism and become unpalatable to the vast, moderate, majority. A lot of the current strength of the Democratic party is by default.

What’s amusing, so long as no one starts shooting, is how the Reichwhiners have turned on each other for not being radical enough. Rather than learning from the overwhelming repudiation of their more extreme views, they are jettisoning all decency in what promises to be a witch hunt in the GOP ranks.

It is center left where it counts, in all the places except the fly over trailer parks and rural counties in the dixie region. Most people can still use their brains and haven’t allowed FAUX and Rush to brainwash them.

We should get rid of “left” and “right”

Should the government regulate anything? Banks have shown the answer is YES. Industries have shown that deregulation has had a detrimental effect on the environment. Scientists know that climate change is a factor in our lives. It IS possible to rely less on foreign oil.

You can have your government look out for the lives of it’s citizens, or you can have your government look out for the corporations.

That’s it. No “left” or “right”. Just “for the better” or “for the worse”.

LOL, don’t buy it at all. It is not that America is center left, it is that the GOP pissed off the moderates in the American center right.
