The pundits love extremes. Whether the far left or the far right, these are the views that get attention. The middle (where the majority of voter are) is generally ignored. My hope is that the moderate majority will be able to find a voice in politics, and that in some small way I might be able to help.
How do I define a moderate? This is an important question, since a moderate may take views from any range between the extremes. The simple truth is that what is moderate to one person may be extreme to another, or even the most moderate of moderates may hold an extreme view on one subject. In my opinion, most moderates (regardless of views) are tired of partisan politics and just want to find some middle ground.
I have no delusions of grandeur. I know that in all likelihood this blog will be ignored by the vast majority, but maybe a few will find me and make their own voices heard as well. The simple truth is that we will continue to be ignored as long as we stay silent.

Perhaps you are really a libertarian.

I think I will try to leave my party affiliation a mystery for the moment. I'm sure some will find clues as I write further.
ReplyDeleteI will say that (like all the parties) there are things I agree with and things I disagree with in the party platform. Feel free to make your voice heard through comments on the site. You are free to disagree with me. Just please be polite and respect others views even when you disagree.
