The United States is a moderate nation [ZOT!]

Posted on 08/24/2014 6:55:42 PM PDT by C43

Why do we keep electing extremists in the primaries?

Obama is 100 percent liberal and McCain and Romney are 100 percent conservative. Most Americans are near 50/50. I'm hoping in 2016 moderates instead of extremists are nominated. People can't just be divided up into liberal and conservative. Most are in between. One person might be pro life but pro gay marriage. Another might be anti gun but anti tax. Very very very few are liberal or conservative on everything yet most elected officials are. Why?

” and McCain and Romney are 100 percent conservative.”

False.
Romney backs abortion, gun bans, illegal immigration, homosexual marriage, higher taxes.
McCain backs much the same in addition to wanting to have us back al qeada in Syria, Libya, etc..

"Time for Moderates to show some backbone."

That's like asking a mermaid to show some leg.

ZOT is correct. The idiotic reasoning of this deluded poster is exceptionally naive or deliberately specious. At this point in our history, “Moderate” means giving marxists a free hand to ruin this country.

I understand and respect the larger question being raised. But I stopped reading as soon as it said, McCain and Romney are extreme conservatives. Someone has to be kidding, or high on dope to write that, ha! Both of those gentlemen were so supportive of key aspects of the left-wing or statist Washington establishment agenda that they lost millions and millions of voters, many of whom stayed home in protest or frustration or both. Remember romneycare? Remember mcCajn spending much of his campaign reassuring America that his opponent was a good man they could trust with the Oval Office, despite Said person’s known anti-American IslamoNazi! terrorist /communist associations McCain and Romney , for what good things they may have had to offer, were far from “ extreme cobservatives. Far far far from it. .

Oh Danny H, the kitties, the kitties are calling
From breaking to chat, and down the mountain side
The summer’s gone, and all the flowers are dying
‘Tis you, ‘tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
‘Tis I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny H, oh Danny H, I ZOT you so.

This wasn’t even good trolling.

I agree, but we will have to ask the judges.



Yep. No trophies for the loser.
