some RW quotes and comments from Alternet

"Conservatives are trying to stir up fear of a Democratic victory by propagating the false narrative that America is a "center-right' country -- a myth easily punctured by even the most perfunctory look at most Americans' positions on the issues.

FRED BARNES: In a center right country, I don't think American people really want the liberal agenda. But they may get it anyway because they're upset during the financial crisis.

PAT BUCHANAN: The country is center right. As you can tell by the fact Obama's been moving to the center as fast as he can.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: The country is not center left. It is center right. This country is more conservative than it was when we took over in 1994 after two years of calamitous Democratic rule. It is a center-right country.

The idea that Americans are fundamentally conservative is a myth. Indeed, a majority of Americans want progressive solutions to the nation's problems, supporting universal health care, expanded environmental protections, a higher minimum wage, the availability of safe and legal abortions, federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, and the rights of same-sex couples to be legally recognized. Additionally, a majority opposes the Iraq War."

My thoughts - let them call those things center-right. If people start to think that all those views are center right then views just a bit to the left of them will be considered centrist! I like the idea of the ideas from the left being considered centrist - for a change. We've had too much radical right being called centrist for far too long.
