Yes, it is, as I said, too hard to read. I see, however, that you didn't respond to my plain English opinion that preceded the "confusing paste job." Contrary to your assertion that Republicans have been refusing to step to the center, they have not only stepped to it, but passed over to the left side of it, so that the "center" has shifted, and continues to shift leftward. Which presents a problem in determining "balance" if everytime you "bend" or "moderate" the center moves. What's the point of being "Republican" if it only means you've become what the "Dems" used to be? If the shift is constantly in that direction, the Dems clearly deserve the title "progressive" and the Repubs are merely come-lately imitators. If Repubs are not going to be opposing enough to create a stable center between the two parties, why exist?
