re: Another RINO to step down from congress before election

You people live in a bubble. You understand nothing about swing districts. You think that everybody should think the way that you do-but they don’t. That’s reality.
You’re tainting the brand, and people are going to throw their hands up and just vote for the Dem candidate that is going to be put forth as a moderate.

This country was center right not long ago. Did that change because the left stopped pursuing their philosophical direction just enough to entice the mythical "middle"?

No. They made their positions more concrete. They became more aggressive. They got creative. And then they put their foot on the pedal. Meanwhile, the GOP gave us war, growing government and fed their corporate lobbyists, ignoring their voter base. Now they hate their voter base.

Brand? What brand? War profiteering? Pork? What does the GOP stand for? It damned sure isn't cutting spending or growth of government or any quaint notions of conservatism. Most republicans outside of the south wail and gnash teeth at any moralist position being enacted anywhere.

The left wins because people know what the left is. The right, if not enabling the left, loses because all they want is their kick-back from the lobbyists they shovel federal money to.
