By saying we should follow the McCain's and give in to the lefts demands doesn't make us centrists, it makes us weak. The vast majority takes some from each side, that doesn't mean they all agree with McCain. I prefer Rudy myself, but Moynihan was my favorite. There are plenty on the right and left that don't like any of the three I just named. > I do not subscribe to the extremes of either party.

I guess it beats denial. I could do what you do and close my eyes to everything except Jon Stewart and assume the non-believers are stupid. > The world is grey, my friend not black and white.

I'm not a birther, but I look at their claims and say he they aren't nuts. They're asking a fair and legitimate question. Most others just say how dare you question Obama you racist.

Why are we talking about the far right? How about the far left? Do you think Obamacare is perfect and you need to be a right-wing nut job to even question it? > Sam you don't question, you accuse and throw out "talking points" almost > verbatim from the websites that you post..

Same goes for the left. The old guards need to step aside, and > realize that government is about the majority not the fringe... That's the stupidest thing I read in a week at least. You can't really believe that?

The guy that endorsed a democrat with no experience? You think so? McCain didn't have the support of the base and neither did Powell. So your vision of the GOP is to drop all it's principles and support the DNC whenever asked? And you think that's a centrist position? You call me brainwashed? I'm sure that came form Stewart also. > 1) small government...
