13. That was what I first thought.
Their site says they are moderates.

Wikipedia describes them as centrists.

They have put out a taxpayer receipt that supposedly tracks where your tax dollars go. It is different from the one put out by the white house reported on npr. Just was wondering how their views might skew such a thing.

3. Didn't even look.
From where we are now, left is the only way out of hell.

There is no third way.

15. It makes sense that when you're trying to do something like that power for power's sake alone
HAS to be your sole objective, because that's the best way you can survive, differentiate, in a conventional "either THIS or THAT" paradigm.
