They just understand how the system works.

And that's fine. But yellow-dog Democrats don't pretend to be centrists.

For you to talk about killing centrism, considering your placement on the political spectrum, and ideological rigidity, is really ripe. Except for maybe Tax Wonk you are the most liberal member on this board.

I think you misunderstand my views, but I also don't think you care.

You only read stuff that reconfirms your already preconceived notions.

I've told you otherwise, but again I don't think you care.

You say you have voted Republican, but Michael Moore has made the same claim.

Are you calling me a liar or are you calling me a fat?

I can't imagine a single issue you would support a Republican on.

I voted to the right of you in the last California gubernatorial election, which only shows that you don't have a good imagination or a good memory.
At the national level, I have very little fondness for Bush, Frist, and DeLay. Since they've set the tone the last several years, that leaves me pretty unhappy with the GOP. At the state and local level, and in the specific area of law in which I practice, I frequently find myself on the side of the GOP. Since we don't post much about those areas here -- indeed, I'm not going to post at all about my area of practice -- you'll just have to wait until we have a drink to find how wrong you are.
Finally, I didn't pretend to be a centrist. You did.
