Oh yeah, I think we all know the crazy talking points from factcheck.org and studies from coveringkidsandfamilies.org. Roll Eyes

Excuse me, there is no need for an attitude here. We can all debate like mature adults.

Apparently, we all can't. You and I can, of course.

Unfortunately, more and more it seems that you are correct. And I had such high hopes for Marokai...

What a waste of hope. especially those hopes of a high nature.

I know; I am ashamed to admit to having wasted so much high-natured hope.

Well, I can forgive you. After all, people on this site actually have tags showing they endorsed Barack Obama! Surprise

Oh, I know, such pitiable creatures.

they consistently nominate from the most liberal of their ranks? 

hahaha



no

So you truly believe Barack Obama, John Kerry, Al Gore, Michael Dukakis, Walter Mondale, George McGovern were/are all moderates?

Yes, obviously.

Nah, McGovern could be described as being on the left.

Not really. He was hardly a New Dealer or anything. People think he's some pinko just because he opposed the Vietnam war.

Well, yeah, he wasn't a fellow traveler, but he was a center-leftist.

McGovern, Dukakis, and Mondale were liberals. The other three were moderates.

Define "moderate". If you mean a disingenuous moderate like Pawlenty or Giuliani, then probably.  Otherwise, there will be no fiscally moderate Republicans at the table. There likely won't be any Republicans who are against U.S. imperialism and the impending wars in Yemen and Somalia. In other words, there wont be any Lincoln Chafees or Charlie Crist's in the mix.

More or less someone who is pragmatic on immigration reform and the environment but will appoint strict constructionalist to the Supreme Crt, like Pawlenty or Giuliani would have.

You really think Obama and Kerry are moderate? And I doubt Gore is, too.

No, they'll nominate a GOP version of McGovern.
