I didn't say one shouldn't have ideals. I just said that isn't what the game is about. It's a matter of packaging those ideals. Packaging doesn't have to shift the ideals. I'm no centrist. In fact, those who are now centrist and who don't believe in the ideals of centrist positions are simply whores. They allowed the message to swallow the ideas.

My propostion is simple: language is the conduit through which we communicate our political ideals. We must choose language carefully, as language IS power. The game is to make the language one chooses to use appear stable, that it cannot shift over time. At the same time, you want to desedimentize your opponent's language, own it, appropriate it. You can then take it away, make it your own, or even discrad it, and then convince people that the language is now stable (even through the process of redefining it).
