Tom Delay and Dick Cheney are two of the most extreme rightwingers in our government. And they have the #2 and #3 jobs in Washington. Frist is also very conservative. Dont lecture me about extreme lefties. If there are any left, they're a minority. And they often agree with GOP moderates. Maybe your problem is you see only black and white, left and right. Too much Rush Limbaugh and not enough real news. Most people and power in this country is somewhere around the middle. Bush campaigned as fairly moderate but once he was in he went hard to the right. It surprised me frankly. Consuidering his father was originally a moderate, pro-choice, even something of an environmentalist. But that was then and this is now. Bush has made his alliances with the hard right. Right even of Buchanon. I dont know how you defend that by attacking the far left. They're not in power and wont be. Edwards, Lieberman, Kerry all pretty moderate. And those three will be the top contenders to face Bush. Kerry will win. Then Kerry will have to clean up the huge mess Bush is going to leave behind, more than a trillion dollar deficits probably, plus frayed relastions around the world and a country generally in turmoil and unrest. One thing Kerry can do is unite the nation, especially if he runs with McCain. However there will always be malcontents on the far right. And they will be the obstructionists then.
