Also, you failed to address the fact that the dems have been moving right and watering down their message for ten years and it hasn't worked. If there are all those decisive votes to be found there, it's pretty sad that they haven't managed to win any of them. If it's all about the middle, then why haven't dems just moved there and won already?

And what issues do you imagine that i support which are so radical that it would push dems into the republican party? Btw, i have never voted third party and would not exactly consider myself on the fringe of the dem party; my positions on issues is largely what the democrats *claim* their positions are. I have just reached the conclusion that both parties are actually obstructions to reaching their stated goals, because the stated goals are really just for public consumption and vote getting. Unfortunately, it appears that they are both rotten to the core and entirely controlled by the aristocracy of this country. The last three years prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Would that it were not so, but it appears that there is no choice but to go around the establishment, and god-willing, surround it and choke it off.
