Re: Kerrys Band of Brothers
Eh! John McCain is just keeping his Left foot inside that Democrat door. Nothing new here about that. Recently, he probably feels he's gotten too far away from them, having endorsed Bush. The Left is where he's gotten his greatest accolades from, even though they've essentially used him as a pawn. I think 5 years in that North Vietnamese prison has left a couple of screws loose.<br /><br />I guess the sad part is that he is viewed as one of those virtuous 'moderates'. And it is very fashionable, today, to be a 'moderate'. You don't have to take a strong stand on anything, that way. That makes you kind, caring and thoughtful. (not) While the Dems profess to love 'moderates', they will simply steamroll them because, in fact, the Dems are anything but moderate. The weaker they can convince you to be (moderate) the easier their job to run right over you.<br /><br />It is true, what DogsDad says re, the Dems have succeeded in painting the Great Middle as radical right. <br /><br />Examples are, if you are a Christian, that does not read the Bible like the Dems read the Constitution, your are waaaay far out radical right.<br /><br />If you don't believe in the sanctity of Homosexuality, you are definitely radical right.<br /><br />If you don't believe in killing the yet born and near born, there is no hope for you.<br /><br />If you don't believe in the US subjugating itself to the UN, you must be Joseph Goebbles brother.<br /><br />There are many, many more issues, like these, that are really common middle ground in this country, whose proponents have been painted radical right.<br /><br />It is time to fight back! And I think that is the core of the battle going on right now.
