I'm saying that even though I want Obama to win.

i think there are many who call themselves republicans, but aren't as far to the right as palin. most americans are in the middle. some tilt to the left on some things, some to the right. but neither the far left, nor far right candidate appeals to most voters, as they fit somewhere in the middle. mccain may have drawn a lot of these middle of the road types...til he went with a far right running mate.

as for cutting taxes, um...yeah, sure.
mccain wants to tax the portion of your health care that's provided by your company. that doesn't sound like a cut to me.

When they re-distribute the wealth and it goes from others to me then it will be a middle of the road policy.

If not - it's a far left policy.

Argue about the better side of a coin.

[Mortimer]

There's no middle of the road on that one.

I hope you get some Morty.....$$$ and the either side of the coin..or both.

That's good - because you will be getting some when Obama rules.

As for the coin..I was hoping for "tail" & 'head" for you...where the hell is DOO-DAH when you need her.

I think that depends on your perspective though. In my country, for example, the more conservative of the two main parties is in about the same place as the Democrats on the political spectrum, so we see the Republicans as far-right and America in general as leaning to the right overall.

i read that the majority here is 'center-right'. still mostly centrists, and a lot of folks who got voted into congress two years ago ran as centrists, and that's why they got in.
hasn't helped much as yet tho.
