Once again the straw man is spouting his mediocre message.
Don't take what happened in this last election seriously. According to the perveyors of "they speak", the americans, while no longer having the stomach to invest political capitol in the direction of our presidents party, have instead given a short lease to the Democrats in order to give time for the GOP to build a more acceptable facade.
I have no fight to pick with those that truely feel a centrist movement is what is needed to put our government back on track to secure us both physicaly and finacially. What I fear though is something a little more sinnister is about to befall true centrists.
Already at work to save ground in the middle, the GOP have layed groundwork to abscond with the move to the center you truely wish to see. Using an age old rally cry, they are about to talk taxes once again. Taxes are the centrists achiles heel. The soft underbelly of any switch voter is the likelyhood that they will be paid for their vote. This has been bore out to a ludicrous extent.
Wartime? Who cares? I'll vote my pocketbook.
This weeks sunday programs have already given us the likes of John McCain (the straw mans candidate) explaining how the americans are upset with the rising deficit, but could not possibly accept a "tax raise" on the top 1 percent of americans. Why?
He reasons that you, the taxpayer have already made room in your budget for the increase of wealth that this tax cut has given the likes of Bill Gates, and Donald Trump.
To take back the tax cut given to them, would most assuredly wreck the plans you have made for your future.

We have seen the success of the GWBII leadership. By simultaneously waging war and lowering taxes he has made some of us very wealthy and improved our national economy and world conditions are approaching perfection with the conversion of Muslims to anarchy, the first step to becoming Christian followers.
Now, it is time to complete the job. Reduce all taxes to $0.00. As this vast resource becomes unavailable to the government, vast borrowing will take place, providing financial institutions with the hope of great profits and eternal interest payments. As we reach climactic exuberance, it will be time for a cabinet member to sit on the red button and finalize the Second Coming.
