You know it never ceases to amaze me that on these boards, people like yourself try to say what they said was not what they said when the text is staring everyone right in the face.

"I think the press and the establishment are the ones trying to make him look like an extremist when he is simply a rather bland New York transplant centrist"

You claimed he is a bland new york centrist.

in my parlance centrist meand moderate

Its not that I am not making sense you said something clearly unsupportable from a factual basis.

Now how Dean is going to out right Bush on immigration I dont know, all I know is that Bush is already to the right of Reagan (the greatest president in 100 years) on the immigration issue, since Reagan (in possibly his only policy error) granted amnesty for millions of illegals.

A centrist is still a radical position compared to the conservative world view-- I was attempting to engage in a conversation on a political tactic, but you seemed to want to have an ideological purity contest as to what I believe.


That was amateur hour stuff. Your inability to see the difference between what one believes versus what a politician is relative to the culture does not become a dispassionate approach to such things.

Reagan actually reduced regulation, promoted federalism and had a tax cut that out paced the rate of inflation unlike the current President. The view of this President remains to be seen.
