Does anyone know anything about the group "No Labels?"

If so, what is your opinion of it?

Thanks.

is just selling the same product under a different brand.

They're dreaded RINOs to the RW and duplicitous corporatists to progressives and I get the (cynical) feeling both sides are absolutely correct.

...to paint themselves as the "reasonable people" and everyone else as ill-tempered partisans.

Check out their "founding leaders":

I don't recognize any of the names as being from "our side", so I guess we're just self-labeling unreasonable hyper-partisans.


Without digging too far into their site, I see a lot of unspecific blather about uniting, and the ususal "they both do it" false equivalence about right and left partisanship. In other words, more no-cost bubble-blowing, but nothing that seems particularly interested in getting things done.
