The center is where the next generation of politicians is going to have to come from to get anything worthwhile accomplished, otherwise you can just look forward to the same ol' same ol'.

I know I have and so have some of the people in my life as so many others continue to march dutifully to the right.
I can only speak for myself, however, and the more I hear from the right the harder it gets to
