KEEPING IT AT 10 & 2

McCain thinks one of his greatest strengths is 'reaching across the aisle'. It would be, if the 'aisle' remained in the same place instead of being moved farther and farther to the Left.

Life 'is a circle', right? So think of politics on a circle. With Libertarian at top center and Communism at bottom center, start at top center and trace the circle down the right or left half according to whether you lean to the Right or Left.

You'll find that no matter where you start, or which direction you go, you end up at Communism - passing various hideous stages of Loony Liberalism, Hard Right Conservatism, Theocracy, Socialism or Fascism and other icky types of government along the way.

Liberals have moved a fair good way down their half of the circle and are doing a good job of forcing people over the top and down past the "10" mark just to be able to speak to them. Can't seem to place Conservatives anywhere along the right half, btw.

It's in our best interest, like we were told in Drivers' Ed, to keep it at 10 & 2 on the wheel.
