Democrats Do Not Need to Become More "Moderate" to Win in 2010 - Four Rules for Victory in November

Wrong. This is how you guys enable people like Obama to capitulate on principle. "Economic centrism" is a meaningless term.



One of the basic issues here is purpose. The purpose of the ultras on the right is to preserve the wealth of the insanely rich. They believe that they are the only people who can and should be entrusted to it. If you give a peasant a dollar, they will waste it. Liberals/progressives believe that the playing field should be level and everyone should have a fair shot at making a decent living - and that massive concentration of wealth is anathema to true capitalism.



There are extreme left-side folks... I'm not talking about them. The progressives that I know are not in financial trouble. Unless serious illnesses occur, they don't spend beyond their means. This is due to a common underlying trait of progressives: basic common sense.



It has NOTHING to do with "economic centrism" and EVERYTHING to do with simple law of reason. What used to belong to the Dems is problem-solving logic and pragmatism. Now what they have mostly is political expediency and fear of reaction.
