28 Centrists

Do you agree?

[LynneSin]

1. Biden is hardly a centrist

His voting record practically mirrors John Kerry except in one way: John Kerry is a member of the DLC and Joe Biden isn't!

[karynnj]

10. and Kerry voted against the Bankrupcy bill and Dr Rice

I agree that Biden is a Democrat, but Kerry had the more liberal record.

2. McCain is a centrist?

I thought he was a right wing thug who wanted to kill iraqis and ban abortion.

[CTLawGuy]

3. McCain I think is enough of a maverick to leave the Repugs

and as for Biden, he has been a lot more hawkish than Kerry, and he is from a state with a large population of credit card companies - making him pro-corporate.

5. if the new 'centrist' party is pro-war and anti-choice then we are screwed

in this scenario :(

[CTLawGuy]

7. Im not sure what they are to be honest

and we would be no more screwed than we are now. Except that, as a single unit, the centrist party can reign in the excesses of the party with which it forms a coalition.

4. Sununu ain't no centrist, either--he learned thuggery from his perverted

daddy! And Lieberman belongs in the GOP column, IMO.

[CTLawGuy]

6. I thought that Sununu had some votes

that broke his party's lines. I forgot what they were to be honest.

[MADem]

8. Sununu was elected because a GOP operative jammed the phone lines

and left thousands upon thousands of NH voters stuck at home, unable to get to the polls.

He knows on which side his bread is buttered. The rotten apple does not fall far from the twisted tree.

9. Stabenow: Not centrist, opposed Roberts, opposed Iraq war

Why do so many people think she's centrist?

[Maine-ah]

11. Snow and Collins are republicans
