Reply #7: Have you noticed voter turn out lately? [View All]

There are more than enough voters out there to sway the election if someone will just stand up and be a champion. Playing to the center plays to those who have not decided. Which means you have to maintain a condition of being undecided. This is no way to move forward.

Think of it this way. The center is like a bunch of people milling around doing nothing. They don't know if they want to go anywhere so they are willing to stand still. They get annoyed at people who tell them they have to move. If you play to this crowd you are playing to stagnation. The more you try to win using these people the more you will create candidates who really are these people You will create a stagnant do nothing centerist party.

Instead of telling them what they must do we need a candidate who can proclaim their ideas in such a way that they will want to move. The right is very able to overreach its ideals and the people follow. Gues what, thats what the center does is follow. By trying to follow them we become the happy little puppy tied to the end of the GOP train heading off to the right with the directionless in tow.

If we do not pull the center back from the right we are only helping the repukes. We need to make them understand why liberal is not a bad word. We need to remind them that it is We the People and not We the Incorporated. We need to show them that the government is theirs and not a tool of oppression. We need introduce to them the possibilities of the futures rather than fears of the future. We need to lead them instead of letting their apathy lead us.
