Bush destroyed centrist Democrats intellectually, by making it impossible for them to credibly critique liberalism from the right.

I don't think the center belongs to Democrats or Republicans.  You're a tool if you vote straight party for either side.  Both sides shit on Moderates and, as soon as they stop being confused, they'll shit on Progressives too.  All Hail the Single Party System.

I work in politics here on the West Island of New Zealand, and I find US politics fascinating. We've been tacking to the right for 30 years now, so the contrasts are fascinating.
