This is an example of how the country could benefit if Democrats still had an anti-abortion or moderate wing. (www.wsj.com)

You mean moderate like... Doug Jones? -- nm - mafic Dec 6, 04:13 12
- Based on his platform positions listed on Wikipedia, I agree with the WSJ's opinion that he is not a moderate. - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:18 11
  - "His views on those issues tend to put him in the Democratic mainstream." -- (link) - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:25 10
    - You realize that mainstream can mean moderate as well, right? -- (edited) - Inigo Dec 6, 04:33 8
      - Sure, if you think the Democratic mainstream = moderate. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:36 7
        
        He's for lowering the corporate tax rate. - Inigo Dec 6, 04:39 6
        
        Where did I call him Extreme? - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:42 5
        
        You insinuated that a moderate Democrat is not moderate. -- (edited) - Inigo Dec 6, 04:47 4
        
        Hell, in today's climate I would consider him a moderate Republican. nm - Dignan Dec 6, 04:52 2
        
        If you disregard that he's siding with Democrats against the Republicans' tax proposal - Strongbad Dec 6, 06:31 1
        
        IMO, he's further to the Left than Flake, Collins, McCain -- nm - Strongbad Dec 6, 06:32
        
        OK. It's a vocabulary issue then. - Strongbad Dec 6, 04:52
    - It's only not moderate because the Republicans have swung insanely to the right. -- nm - Reagen Dec 6, 04:28
I kind of agree. Short term victory for (if democrats actually take advantage of it) a long term loss because of the national optics. - volnelk Dec 6, 04:09
