Sorry folks. We really do have to move to the center in order to win.

What people fail to understand, though, is that the corporate media and the professional pols of both parties have all collaborated to make us think that the center far to the right of where it actually is.
Pretending the "corporate media" isn't your friends when 95% of those who populate the "corporate media" confess to being liberals/democrats/Obama slobberers just makes you look stupid and adds another lace hanky to your anti-reality hopechest.
The the center is where the Average American is, and that is far to the LEFT of where the talking heads imagine it to be.
No, wrong again. Your attempting to present the opposite of reality as the truth. The media has and will always carry on as if liberalism is the norm.
Remember: "How did (Republican winner's name) win? I don't know anyone who voted for him."
Average Americans want universal health care.
Nope. Wrong again. Socializing the medical industry as you DUmmies see it is not a popular idea with anyone outside of those already completely dependent on the government.
They want their rights restored, and they do not want to live in a police state.
You
ALMOST got this one right by accident. An example would be the 2nd amendment, which liberals want to repeal (that's "destroy" for you DUmbasses). It was saved from the trash heap just this week (for the foreseeable future) by conservatives on the US Supreme Court. Normal people know this. Liberals are still gnashing their drug-rotted teeth over it.
BTW, no other "rights" have been taken away either. Now, there is talk by many liberals of reinstating the "Fairness Doctrine", which is an assault on the right to free speech. Conservatives will stop this too.
Looking back over the last two paragraphs, you wanna tell me again who is a threat to normal people's rights and who isn't?
They want to be loved and respected by other peoples as they once were.
You'll have to go back to the 1950's to find that. I didn't think you people were advocates of "white bread America".
They want an end to the insane Iraq war.
Nope, wrong again. There is no "Iraq war". What people want is for America to win the war we are fighting against terrorists. You left-garbage don't want the USA to win anything - ever.
They want the planet to be protected so their great-great-grandchildren can have clean water, clean air, and natural beauty.
Nope. They want OIL...by a huge margin. Nobody buys into the "global warming" scam, and that nobody grows bigger and bigger everyday.
They want to have jobs
They have jobs. We have had historically low unemployment rates for years and years. It has been a blessing you people have tried to mask as evil ever since the first unemployment numbers came out after President George W. Bush was sworn in.
People aren't as stupid as you need them to be. If Clinton's number were utopia, and Bush's number are even better, how is it bad now but not then? I'm looking for a simple answer. I've been looking for years now. No one can tell me.
and to be protected from the rapacious behavior of the corporations.
Nope. Most people have great respect for our captains of industry. Capitalism is not their enemy and they know it. It is becoming quite plain to the average concerned citizen that liberalism is poisoning America. Choke on it.
They want to go to bed at night knowing that nobody has been tortured or kidnapped in their name.
Nope. That's just you leftist idiots. Normal people don't give a fat rat's ass about the feelings of those poor maligned terrorist who want them dead.
Average Americans are hoping against hope that the Democrats will deliver on these things.
BZZZZZZZZ. Wrong again. Most people don't see the world like you DUmbasses do. They don't live, dream, eat, and breath government. Most people are laughing at Borax Obama. Don't believe the phony ass polls your friends in the "corporate media" shove down our throats. If you do, you are in for a big letdown.
If the Democrats don't deliver, they're ultimately going to prove that Ralph Nader was right about that dime's worth of difference.
Democrats have never delivered anything but heartache, socialism, fascism, and misery. It isn't going to change. Just look at this democrat controlled congress. They have a worse reputation than used car lots.
