Quote:Junior, I know that you have a belief that you want to be true, and it's hard to overcome desire with rationalization. Here's a chart of the political leanings of the senators from the democratic states.

Please note that they're all firmly on the conservative side of the board.

 

Here are the candidates in the 2012 presidential election.

Please note that Obama is almost as far right as Romney.

 

Sorry, but what you're basically trying to sell her is nonsense that everything has moved to the left.  Just because Romney and Obama are similar in many ways doesn't mean the democrats have moved to the center.  It means the idiots running the republican party have allowed the party to be controlled by RINOs who are pulling the party to the left.  To imply that 0bama is in any way, shape, or form as philosophically conservative as Reagan is a complete load of garbage. 

 

When a liberal says they want more moderates, all that means is republicans must move left to agree with them.  You never see the same call for the nut jobs on the left being pulled to the true middle.  It's always the other way around, and then democrats like you move the stakes for what is defined as the middle in order to continue to push liberal agendas. 

 

I know this bothers you since you're such a thin skinned whiner, but the truth is the truth.  The only reason the two parties are so "similar" is because the GOP has been run by democrats in republican clothing for years now.
