A site for political moderates: Moderate-America.com
25Jun2008 Filed under: Culture, Politics Author: Smug Baldy
Moderate America is a political blog that’s claims to be more about policy than people. To the folks - mainly fringe nut-cases - that tend to think that there really isn’t any such thing as a political moderate, or worse - that a moderate has no views whatsoever, moderate-america responds:
A political moderate is a person who holds values that are considered traditionally conservative as well as some that are considered traditionally liberal. Are you for a strong national defense and for good public education? Do you value the environment while you also value the need to provide decent jobs? Do you believe that it’s wrong to discriminate against people for housing or employment because they belong to some minority or religious group? What about voluntary prayer in schools?
We like the idea that moderation in politics more than some amorphous non-position. Instead moderation is a position that blurs the traditional lines of political parties, and recognizes that our ideas and ideals are sometimes complex.

About this blog
I'm contentedly confident in my abilities and frequent correctness - and this is where you get to bask in my light. Though I'm superior, I'm not complacent. No siree, I spend much of my time trying to understand people, and why some of us are such freaks.

Well, it is up and running. There is now a web site dedicated to all those Democrats who will not/can not vote for the Democratic presumptive nominee. http://www.DemocratsforMcCain.com
The site reaches out to all those Democrats for McCain - those Democrats that have the courage to acknowledge that they will cast their vote for John McCain in November. Courage? How many Democrats have you spoken to that are willing to admit that their Party Candidate is not ready to take on the office of President of the United States? President Obama? I will vote for him in ‘16. Three years in the Senate makes not a good President of the free world.
I have spoken to a lot of them, Democrats for McCain, but they are so far unwilling to publicly speak out. A new silent majority. A middle class, hard working majority that can not trust their future to someone untested to date.
They feel more comfortable with John McCain. His age. His war record. His record in the Senate. His record of bi-partisanship.
They know what they are getting with John McCain.
Let’s see if the site will open up the “silent McCain majority” and start a real discussion about the next President of the United States.
