Maybe someday if I am bored I will draft a centrist party platform for consideration here. I tend to think of it as self-evident, but it isn't for partisans since not embracing their cause 100% means you are bad and evil and traitorous and mean and don't care about anyone's well-being. I agree that we could use politicians who have both feet on the ground and speak from the heart, instead of just humping their party-line pre-canned rhetoric.

Funny, Suma. I just read Dale's note regarding a 'centrist' platform, and wondered how that would be viewed against some of our founding fathers words, actions, and actual accomplishments regarding our own founding documents of this country. And then you mentioned the John and Abigail Adams special on PBS on Monday. We missed it, darn it. BUT I did this morning check out PBS to see what they had about the program. One thing that is interesting is the two page scrolled Timeline from the Adams documents about where and when things happened in their lives, as well as the events for the country as it was at that time. Tonight is the PBS French and Indian War, a precursor to the Revolutionary War.
