The repubs have taken us so far right that what SHOULD be the middle (in a sane pre-repub rule nation) is actually "far left" in comparison.

It's like comparing Zell Miller running in Nazi Germany to Hitler and his party. OF COURSE Miller is going to be "far left" in comparison, but that doesn't mean he is in fact far left of sane people. Certainly no one here will say Miller is "far left", but when you put him up against a far right opponent then it screws up the perspective.

Most progressives who want to run for office in the party are not "far left". They are actually moderate, but only seem "far left" when compared to the bush regime and where they have taken us.

Apparently it is now "far left" to want health care for all.

It is now "far left" to oppose the Iraq war.

It is now "far left" to want to bring back a fair and balanced media.

It's now "far left" to want quality guranteed education pre-k through college.

It's also "far left" to support civil rights, unions, opposing fascist legislation, and wanting a clean environment.

The above is what Kucinich supports. Is anyone going to honestly say MOST working class americans do NOT support the above? Are you telling me THAT is actually "far left" and out of touch with the "middle"? Like hell it is. It's only "far left" and out of touch when you compare it to the current regime.

But oh well - Kucinich was too out of touch with middle america it seems. Seems Ashcroft and the regime is more in touch. It seems that most americans like the government having the ability to take you away in to the night with out reason, hate unions, hate civil rights, don't like having jobs, don't like good education, and hate having health care. Yup, that's your average american.
