I see a generation of liberal dominance. The corporate media can go f**k themselves. They are irrelevant now. Just like the GOP.

3. Silly rabbit. The MSM is trying to unify the Democrats that we're not unified.
They always have been irrelevant sunshine.

4. Both parties are divided, that's what comes with having a two party(only) system...
in place. And I see no evidence of "liberal dominance" at all, in the Democratic party. Both parties more resemble coalitions rather than true political parties, hence the reason why there's so much infighting within both of them. Politicians join one or the other out of convenience, and party discipline is non existent in the United States.

7. More or less
What you say is true, but its all relative. Just you watch, the center is going to lurch leftward. Eventually the spirit of FDR will prevail!

9. I doubt it, I see no indication of it from the selection of officials...
who run the Party in the DNC, nor from elected officials as well. By and large, most are centrists of one stripe or another, the party has been moderate-conservative for as long as I can remember, and I see no indication that its going to change now.

5. Do you know any moderate Republicans?
My dear friend is one. G is a nice guy . . . but he's sick of the (his words) "Religious Right's stranglehold on the Republican Party." Totally disgusted with the Rick Warren thing. Thinks enough of the pandering.

And nope - not voting McCain. Voting Barr.

6. I explained to my preteen today that the Reps' way of doing things is to
endlessly repeat some hypocritical crap until people with no ability to reason believe it is the truth.

:shrug:
