Jefford's Defection
May 25th, 2001
I think today is a great day.
As it happens I lean to the left of center on all of my major issues. I hope I’d think the same way even if I leaned to the right.
At the conclusion of the last election I was clearly disappointed. As pissed as I was about Bush being elected the thing that really pissed me off was ceding the entire government to a single party. It’s dangerous in the extreme. It gives power to a parties extremists instead of the moderates.
When Sen. Jeffords left the GOP he put more power into the moderates of both parties.
The center is always the least of all evils in politics.
