63. This thread has become a battle I don't want to join.
But I must say two things,

Does anyone think FDR and JFK were moderates?

Do the moderates think in negotiations(which is how most laws are written) it is best to start from the center(where you want to end up), or from the left.

The left knows they will probably not get what they want, but will end up hopefully somewhere in the center. Lately everything seems to me to end up very right of center. That's what you get when you start in the center and negotiate against a party that starts at the extreme right.
