right wing corporatism vs far right wing corporatism isn't polarized.
"They're both two sides of the same coin, we're doomed!"
Take off your tinfoil hat.
thanks for that well argued counter to my post, i now feel like i've been savaged by a dead sheep.
Look at sites such as ontheissues.org that list the actual positions of each politician. Look up some key politicians in our history from both sides, and then plot them on a chart. The American left and right are both shifting further and further away from the center.
Here's a political compass chart I posted in a previous thread of mine:
Left:
John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson: E -4, S -2
Bill Clinton: E -4, S -4
Barack Obama: E -5, S -6
John Kerry: E -7.5, S -8
Rocky Anderson: E -9, S -10
Right:
Richard Nixon: E 2, S 2
Gerald Ford: E 4, S 4
Ronald Reagan: E 4, S 6
Mitt Romney: E 2, S 8
George W. Bush: E 7.5, S 8
Rick Santorum: E 7.5, S 10.
