ABC Panel: The GOP Is Too Far to the Right, Dems Closer to the Center
By Nicholas Fondacaro | March 17, 2019 12:51 PM EDT

With nearly the entire Democratic 2020 field sprinting to be the closest to socialism without using the label, folks in the liberal media were busy trying to spin their radical policy positions as something palatable. A great example of this occurred during ABC’s This Week on Sunday, when two panelists tried to suggest that it was Republicans who were the radical ones with Democrats supposedly as the centrists.

During the “powerhouse roundtable” discussion late in the show, Republican strategist Alice Stewart noted that the candidates could “run away from the socialism label” all they wanted “but you can't deny the fact that the Democratic Party is moving very, very far to the left.”

“We're talking about a lot of policies that are extremely left. The Cortezs of Washington and the younger generation of Democrats are really causing a divide in the Democratic Party,” she added before triggered faux-Republican Matthew Dowd couldn’t hold back anymore.

 I have a very liberal brother-in-law and sister-in-law who once said that Sean Hannity is polarizing. When they were asked how they felt about people like Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, they claimed that they were in the main stream

 We are victims of our own nature and self-centeredness. It’s our nature to believe that whatever we support  or oppose , everybody else does, too.

That an ABC News panel would think that the far left positions of the new Democrat party are the main stream wouldn’t surprise me because those are the same positions of that ABC panel

The left likes to point out polls that show majority support for Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. While that is probably true for now, they don’t want to talk about the polls that show how the support for both  plummets when  people are presented the details.

ABC news!  Just another mouthpiece for the Democrat party!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

When you're an extremist, anyone who is even slightly not like you seems like an extremist, as you delusionally cast yourself as the center.

Problem is, Dems got their House victory running as moderates, but are now embracing the AOC wing as centrist. They are a hypocritical, self-contradiction.

Dems...especially the mental midgets at DU have been saying for years they believe that NPR and CNN are "centrist" while the rest of the MSM and the likes of MSNBC are just left of center.

And the scary thing is they say all of this with a straight face.

I know many Progressives that believe that 8 years of Obama was jsut the 3rd and 4th term of Bush 43.

They hated Bush 43 (love him now), the other Bush (love him too), Reagan (love him) and Goldwater, even (you guessed it).  A lot of Strange New Respect popping up all over.  My detestation of Carter, the Clintons and Obastard goes on and on.  And they claim to be the consistent ones.  I suppose they are, but not in the way they mean it.

There were similarities

The size of the Federal government grew under both. The debt grew under both. Both got us involved in the Middle east.....

Individual freedoms and the citizen being the master of the state have always been radical ideas. The Dims really and truly don't understand why everyone isn't appalled at the thought of all those people running around,free to make up their own minds about what they want and need.

Proving that even REGRESSIVES are occasionally right by accident.

BTW,there is nothing even the TINIEST bit "progressive" about these Maoists. Why are you giving them cover by calling them progressive?

We were wondering that the last time too, George. We were wondering in 2016. When’s he going to move to the center? When is he going to do the traditional Nixon to the right in the primary, to the center for the general? He doesn't define himself that way. People don't define him that way. They don't look at him as an ideologue.

I have never seen Trump as an ideologue, or even as a man with an idea.
