Giulianos Forum

In general centrists are the most hated of all political groups, in my experience wingnuts and moonbats will sooner get along with each other than they will get along with a moderate.

At least it seems to play out that way in elections, candidates on the right like Rudy were called out by liberals for his liberal policy stances and this helped him lose the republican primary. I suppose he wasn't quite liberal enough for them, and they were afraid he could actually win.

The same thing happens to people like Joe Lieberman.

Which is probably why people like McCain run as partisans even when they clearly are not.
