You and I are, I believe, joined by that 80% majority of Americans which I have termed "The Moderate Zone." I hope you'll continue to work with us all in our Movement to redefine, hold accountable and reform American politics and media and eradicate sexism in the country we love!<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>tig;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323108943391775470.post-11791292807871293522008-11-25T11:34:00.000-05:002008-11-25T11:34:00.000-05:00I thank YOU for your post.

I told myself the Democrats had left me, and I still believe that. Throughout the past few decades the Republican party was highjacked by it's base ~ the most extreme wing of the party. The same has now unfolded with the Democrats ~ the party is held by the extreme left. Politically I have always been more at home in the center, and that explains my loyalty to President Clinton and Senator Clinton. I found great comfort when he was President and governed from a common sense perspective rather than strict ideology. Now that both parties seem to be controlled by the extremes, I am an Independent. I agree most with Democrats, but am a fiscal conservative. President Clinton demonstrated that Democrats can be masterful at economics, and though he can't take all of the credit, the economy was damn good in the 90's. But...I digress. I am a PUMA and for the foreseeable future, will most certainly remain a PUMA. We are struggling with what that all means, and I think it means different things to different people, but again, this is to be expected when a movement is young, it is called growing pains. It will continue to evolve and take shape, it has a life of it's own. We can hardly sit on our hands and do nothing. As the Democrats were the big-tent Party, so now will the PUMAs follow that path. At least, that is my hope. Thank you again for the thoughtful post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
