Define the "center"
Could we please have some people's opinions of what the center
is anymore. I keep hearing right and left of center but I
don't know what that is. Thanks in advance for any input.

6. Ok, well welcome to "above the fold" forums
I always open with a joke, so shouldn't get on someone else
for doing the same.

4. Well, according to Lieberman...
the RIGHT OF CENTER, a.k.a BUSH-LITE, is the CENTER!

I'd have to disagree with that!

7. Hell, right now Nixon
would be considered a Commie Pinko. Can you imagine any repuke supporting civil rights? Calling for an end to the Iraq-Nam war?

The dialogue has shifted so far Faschist that the left is right.

11. The center is people who are OK with change
but not drastic change. They don't want Dems repealing corporations and they don't want republicans repealing supreme court rulings. That sort of thing.
