You are having a dinner party and you put Mike Pence on one side of Evan and Nancy Pelosi on the other side *ta dah!* Evan is a centrist, or at least in the center.
Remember, this is from the MSM's world-view, where THEY are the center, and they (the MSM) judge everybody and everything on how close your opinions are to theirs (or not).
I don't know much about Bayh, but the media here in Arizona definitely play McCain up as a far right conservative. My rejoinder to them is: Border security, amnesty for illegals. The only thing far right about Mr. McCain is defense policy. Thank god for small miracles. GO HAYWORTH!
Yeah, it's a TRUE SHAME it wasn't Dick Lugar instead of Evan Bayh who announced he was running for re-election again.
Still this whole "...no longer in love with Congress..." thing has an odor about it. I'm left wondering if it has more to do with his wife's acceptance of $1,000,000 from Blue Cross and his subsequent votes than the loss of love for Congress.
Afterall he IS a politician and has never been anything else.
I'd be willing to bet that Bayh is stepping down because he wants to be President someday, and he's cagey enough to realize that being associated with the Democrats' current agenda is poisonous to that goal.
I like the way that the actual step downers are quoted as being upset with the left, yet the "analysts" say the problem is pressure from the left AND right.
Have any of the Blue Dogs resigned?
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't hate guns and doesn't want to convert coal burning plants into fetus burning plants, so yeah, he's centrist.

In the same world where National Socialists are "right wing", and hard-line communists are "conservatives" like Ronald Reagan.
ReplyDeleteWhen compared with Pelosi, Bayh is a centrist. When compared with a dog, a cat is a cat.

ReplyDeleteCue that movie guy voice:
ReplyDelete"In a world where up is down, left is right, and everyone else is "A Conspiracy Theorist", the NYT is the voice of centrist "reason"."

In Bayh's defense, he was generally on the side of gun owners, which is more than can be said for Dick Lugar.

ReplyDelete"The dog bit me!"
"Man bitten by dog and cat!"
in a world where Joe Stalin was just a liberal?
ReplyDeleteBayh has voted the straight dem party line. That makes him a socialist regardless of his whining.
ReplyDeleteNow y'all need to get rid of the other one too.
