Since we made the whole impeachment debate mostly off limits a long time ago, I don't think you need to worry about this thread falling into that pit.

But if you find a thread with less partisan sniping, please let me know. Most people even here can't escape their particular leanings and biases. But at least we spend more time discussing ideas instead of insults and personalities.

It's also possible that centrist voters are as fed up as SP500 index investors the last six years, and just don't bother to be heard.

Well and good. If that's what being in "the center" is all about, I'll probably wander somewhere else soon. Would gladly wander off SI entirely if a certain someone would ever finish my website

This is not a centrist thread. DB may want it to be. But the overall posting is left leaning. He will disagree with me, but he does posts mostly left in my view.

In my perfect world, a centrist would post articles representing more than a 'isn't Bush awful' message. It might help to enliven discussion on the thread too. Instead, people spend a day here arguing over the meaning of a word. Just like the UN. ;-)
