...that there's so much agreement that Bush* is so far right that the moderates and less moderates here seem to agree on a lot. Like you'd have trouble picking out the moderates here because there's such a bold common enemy that's doing so many things wrong that we're all adopting very agressive and vigorous rhetoric. I mean, look at Howard Dean - probably the second if not the most centrist candidate (and I supported him knowing that), confused by the media as being an ultraliberal simply because of his style and his antiwar stance.
