A thread for DU moderates and centrists.

[Blue_Chill]

Is anyone else sick of the baseless conspiracy theories and the “Bush has lied before” logic used to justify every oddball suggestion? Perhaps some of you are growing tired of the “it’s Americas fault” being the default value for all conflicts in history to some posters?

I think this kind of stuff is going to cost us more and more votes. I don’t see any of this appealing to moderates at all; I certainly don’t see it getting any swing voters. Do you agree that the party has shifted right? Do you think the anti-war rhetoric will harm the party or help the party?

I ask because sometimes moderates and level headed democrats feel a little out numbered on Democratic Underground and I would like to see how many of you are out there, if any. If there seems to be a good number of moderates I was thinking of setting up an IRC channel, it’s a sort of low budget chat room any computer can handle and it’s free. Perhaps we could get together and discuss certain things without the "YOU ARE A SHEEP" posts getting in the way.
