"Centrist" sounds pragmatic, until you notice how far to the right you measuring from.
THen you realize that centrist is just a euphemism for right wing.

Obama's announcement of a "Centrist" nominee for SCOTUS today is just a nod to Business as usual.
Interesting the timing of the announcement.

On our current path, the centrists of tomorrow will stand where the right is today. The people need to wake the fuck up.
