He said he voted for Romney.

Many people in the "Center" will vote for Romney.

No one on the left will vote for Romney.

I never believed there was real center worth discussing anyway-g.

<<<<<Center isn't "right". It's not open for discussion>>>>>

Seems rather rigid. Can we discuss what the "center" is?

I believe in small government and balanced budgets - but also believe it is none of the governments business to decide a woman's right to chose on abortion. I also believe we should legalize pot and don't believe the government has any business interfering with right to die with dignity. I don't believe the government should be spending a dime for educating at the local level - but do believe in single payer health care administered by the government. So on health care I'm to the left of Obama and on the budget I'm to the right of Romney.

Am I a member of the "center"? You want me to leave too? This labeling is troubling and I believe is contributing to America's gridlock. Aren't we all after all Americans first and isn't the center really undefinable?
