Extremism vs Moderation

VERY CONSERVATIVE republicans, the folks on the far right, are unhappy with the direction of the overall republican party, thinking it is not sufficiently conservative. The RNC, (republican national committee), it seems, has decided to present the viewpoint that barrack obama is a nice guy, only imcompetent.

Mainstream, sensible, moderate republicans understand that america has only so much tolerance for attack politics, and they want mitt romney to present a positive program of conservative policies.

The more conservative republicans seem to genuinely feel that barrack obama has a hidden, evil agenda, and is deliberately downsizing, ruining, destroying america. Just why he would do this is a mystery, but nonetheless the conservatives either believe it, or want to believe it.

If all liberals suddenly vanished, the conservatives would sort themselves into conservative conservatives, and liberal conservatives, and liberalism would thus be reborn.

A plurality of americas are moderate, middle of the road, independent. They get tired of the divisiveness they see in extreme liberalism and conservatism, and are willing to vote for whichever candidate provides the clearest, most hopeful plan.

Actually, of cousre,liberalism and conservatism in america are frequently hard to tell apart. Its almost like we have only one political party; the party of private property, let us call it. A little extremism now and again at least gives us a greater variety to from which to choose. It must be admitted, though, that oftentimes the folks in the middle seem more stable, and reasonable, than the rest of us.

In most european countries ther are multiple political parties ranging from extreme left wing socialism, to extreme right wing traditionalism. It might do the united states well to come up with a couple more political parties at least, with new ideas. It might give us more to choose from.
