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.

Spare me the sophistry, I merely challenged your still unsubstantiated claim that Dean was a moderate/centrist.

I mentioned Reagan and immigration, which you alluded to, since Bush will not grant any similar amnesty in this environment, he is to the right of Ronaldo Maximus on that issue.
