    Where does a moderate stand in the midst of global meltdown, WWIII, and the trashing of the Constitution????

    ... the answer is "wherever the largest mass of 'swing' voters stands."  The "moderate" trait that I find unforgivable-- I find moderation to be necessary as a political tack when governing, although obviously not when campaigning-- is their tendency to accept the faulty notions that a) our democracy is a simple majority-rules system and that whatever the most people want must therefore be correct, and b) that they should follow unaligned voters onto what is already shaky ground, instead of trying to lead those same voters somewhere a bit more solid.  Weak, weak, weak.

    "Conservative principles" are marketing props used by the Conservative Movement to achieve political power, not actual beliefs. -Glenn Greenwald
