We're a "center-right" country *SQUAWK!* We're a "center-right" country!

[Atman]

Or so I've learned from teevee already today. Every guest on MSRNC was sure to point out that despite the GOP's resounding losses in November, despite Obama's rising popularity even in the face of two weeks of withering crit from the media, despite emperical demographic evidence showing Americans shifting more and more toward the Democratic party, despite all that they'd have us believe that America really is closer to Republicans than Democrats, and therefore Obama better treat the GOP nicey-nice.

FUCK YOU GUYS. YOU LOST. YOUR POLICIES FAILED. Now sit down, shut up and get out of the way. Or do something constructive for a change instead of DEstructive. Just once. I dare you.

2. Just a few more job losses and we hit the tipping point to become

far left. Complacent people don't care about anything until they personally get hit with it right between the eyes.

Complaining about people not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps strangely ends when one finds they can't reach their own.

3. Well, at least we're UNITED.

According to politicalcompass.com, Nazi Germany was a center-right country too. They also valued national unity.

I personally vote for GULAGS chock full o' Republicans. GULAGS getcher GULAGS. Cabbage soup for Madoff and his boys.

4. The last two elections, '06 and '08 show shift to left.

Democratic incumbants overwhelmingly re-elected. How many red states did Obama flip, ten or eleven?

6. Newsweek is pushing that, too

We remain a center-right nation in many ways—particularly culturally, and our instinct,
once the crisis passes, will be to try to revert to a more free-market style of capitalism.

7. Then why have we gotten more votes in 4 out of the last 5 elections?

92, 96, 2000, 2008

These losers want to believe this country is "center-right" because they can't admit they support a failed ideology.
