“As if this wasn’t bad enough, their standard response to those who point out that they are losing the support of the core of the American electorate is that these (centrist) people really are just wishy washy Democrats or Republicans that just wont admit it to themselves … which is made even more ridiculous in the face of many years of so called RINO (Republican In Name Only) & DINO (Democrat In Name Only) hunting that has pushed out most of the moderates in the House and Senate, leaving the parties farther apart, more ideologically extreme and more disconnected from the core of the American electorate than they may have ever been.
“How do they get away with both pushing moderates and centrists out, while claiming that these same people are really just one of them, but in denial?
“I could point fingers in a multitude of directions to explain this, but what it really comes down to is we have failed ourselves. Sure, the media often eats up the partisan talking points, hook line and sinker, and sure … the two major parties use their megaphones to drown out our voices … but in a democracy, the peoples’ job is to speak for themselves. Blaming others really just amounts to a self defeating attitude that doesn’t help our cause one bit.”
