Rosen vs Romney: That's what she saidFollow

Why worry? It doesn't matter what someone runs as, once they're in office they become homogenized right into the middle and the only difference is the self-imposed label of the people praising and scapegoating them.

Looks like we've got ourselves a badasscynic over here...

I'm honestly curious for examples of what Bush said prior to taking office compared to what he did afterwards, but your statement absolutely applies to Obama. Remember the whole reaching across the aisle, post-partisan, post-racial, bit? Remember the whole limiting lobbyist access, cleaning up Washington bit? Hell. Obama somehow managed to fail to meet nearly every public promise he made during the campaign. Now, to be fair to him, no one on the right or left believed that what he said publicly was what he would actually do, but that just made it more amusing:

Obama makes promise to do X
Conservative: He's not going to do X! He's going to do Y instead.
Liberal: No he's not. You just heard him promise. He's going to do X. So why are you opposing him?
Conservative: Because he's not going to do X. Hell. You don't want him to do X. You want him to do Y. You're just saying that so that he'll get elected and then do Y instead.
Liberal: That's crazy! You're a crazy stupid racist person. You know that (insert laughter here).

Obama gets elected and does Y instead of X
Conservative: See! He did Y instead of X, just like I said!
Liberal: Well, of course he did Y. That was the right thing to do. Why would you think otherwise?
Conservative: But... You. Gah!!!


Yeah. That's pretty much how it's gone. always gone.

You so cute, Gbaji

Subtle like Glenn Beck. And sharp as Sarah Palin!

It is the middle ground.

It's also still partisan, because Republicans no longer have any claim to any part of the middle ground.
